very long way from delivering the the 320x240 30fps imager for $300
Do we really need 30fps in those things?
Even at 1fps at some applications when we make 10 shots in the 10s time and average those images we can get quite accurate energy leakage view while looking at stationary objects.
Postprocessing of this data and correct analysis is the most important there.
In my opinion such device should simply have wifi module, everything hermeticaly closed and be able send its imaginery at least 10meters away for a few hours, so it could be easy captured, stored, postprocessed and analysed not only on those crappy "smartphones" with small screens but everything that has wireless network.
Plugging together this Mu to smartphone is hopeless
There are situations where you want be far away from heat source or its very cold outside and I want monitor my window in another room sitting comfortable and playing with those images on 24" iiyama screen using OpenCV for autodetection of interesting areas.
