of course, the Seek Thermal Camera you see here isn’t the first thermal imager for smartphone, but what it proposes is something pretty attractive: it is a handy attachment that plugs to your device’s Lightning or micro USB port, which means you don’t have to deal with cumbersome case and it even works with some cases (note: some) on. Seek Thermal Camera uses Vanadium Oxide Microbolometer to detect and capture thermal signature – an odd choice, considering that Amorphous Si or a-Si is proven to be easier to integrate with CMOS fab process. perhaps cost is in the way? anyways, still, it boasts a sensor with over 32,000 thermal pixels, presenting them on your beautiful smartphone display, at a fraction of the cost of a full-fledged, dedicated device.
