This is what I've been thinking of for myself too. I can see this
camera as a great tool for some studio photography. The technology is
brilliant, but as is usual with millions of other startup failures,
it's a solution looking for a problem instead of a problem looking for
a solution.

I wouldn't count on it. I think it will end up as a patent sale and a
dead end. However, variations of this could have tremendous
application in medical and industry.

I'm so honored.
