CES 2014: Budget Thermal Imager from Smartphone

I love to follow the novelties, which are presented at various exhibitions such as CES. But for some reason in Habré there are not many posts from the last exhibition. The exhibition has already ended, so he decided to find its results in various media.

What was my surprise when I found out that the FLIR One thermal imager was presented at the exhibition in the form of a case for a smartphone, and also at a fairly attractive price - $ 350.
On Habré has already been a review of the FLIR thermal imager and have long wanted to get a similar tool, but the price of thermal imagers drove melancholy. Google suggested that one of the most affordable models Flir i3 costs about 50 thousand rubles.

At the moment, the imager is a case for the iPhone 5 and 5S. By the end of the year, the manufacturer promises to release a version for smartphones on the Android system.

The case has its own 1400mAh battery and communicates with the phone through its FLIR One MX application.
Unfortunately, the specification does not specify the resolution of the sensor, but judging by the examples of images of this resolution is quite enough.
