Why can't the bubble lenses be pointed toward the lens rather than being
perpendicular?
<snip>
the bubbles are formed, conceptually anyway, by laying a thin sheet of
plastic of the CCD (or CMOS Sensor) and heating it until a bubble forms over
each pixel. There is not much in the way of directional control with this
type of process.

Or mirror the walls of each CCD well so it bounces down to the bottom?
Or even make the CCD spherical so each CCD well points toward the lens?
(Yeah, the lenses would have to channel the lite from the middle of the
sphere and be redesigned.)
<snip>
Again, while technically feasible, this is a process so unlike current
silicon chip technology, that the cost would be to say the least,
prohibitive.
