Interesting that they aren't using the built-in iPhone camera for the visual spectrum part, but are still using their own. (FLIR uses a visual spectrum camera to do edge detection, and then overlays that on the IR image to make it easier to see what is going on.)
Relevant: Turn cheap FLIR into expensive FLIR imager: http://hackaday.com/2013/11/04/manufacturer-crippled-flir-e4... Kickstart Phone Thermal Imaging: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mu-thermal-camera-a-great-... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyrawson/ir-blue-therm...
From that indiegogo, this kind of thing always gives me pause: "We'll send you a Mµ Optics Thermal Imager for $125. ... This represents $200 off the MSRP."
If the MSRP is $325, then hardware cost should be sub-$100. So $125 might a breakeven price in terms of cost+basic expenses.
Why would anyone need this?
I think the use cases outlined on the site are pretty stupid.
Neat implementation, but is there a market?
is the more direct link.

Is there anyone that does photography where the R in RGB is replaced by thermal values? I've always been curious what the world would look like if our red cones were replaced with a thermal cone cell.

With modified D200s being one choice,

Crypto is not the only munition in disguise.
I just ordered a 3DRobotics Iris and I'm interested in mounting some thermal/IR/multi-spectral imaging to it ... could something like this work from the sky?
