AMAZING!
Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Projected price?



Actual price, actually. It's out. 499 for capacity of 750 pics, or 399 for 350 pics (I don't know the "size" of each pic, and I dont know if even knowing that it would translate as the same as a regular photo)

Interesting form factor too. Not sure it's very practical, but interesting.

I think it actually could be used quite creatively in skydiving. Take a look at the picture gallery where you can shift the focus on the pictures to change the DOF. Not for everyone but it does offer some unique features.

The images aren't significantly larger due to the wavelet technology. the problem is playing/displaying the images, because it's a proprietary format. They can be stored as .jpeg, but then the interactive/user-selected focus goes away.
The compression isn't great, and the motionography aspect isn't great for skydiving. Once CES is over, I'll share some pix on a page (difficult to share on DZ.com due to format/decoder)

It's the beginning of some really sweet technologies, IMO. The tech has been licensed to some bigger companies and we'll see something really cool in a few weeks at CES.
