aNewDomain.net — At CES 2014, our Todd Townsend checks out FLIR, a $349 thermal imaging device for the Apple iPhone.
Launched at CES 2014, the FLIR thermal imaging camera and sensor for the Apple iPhone will cost $349 when it hits the market this spring.

The spot meter function captures temperature readings. (For a video explainer on the FLIR ONE, check out my colleague Todd Townsend’s aNewDomainTV vi… […]
I’ve used FLIR on projects… great to see it coming to consumer. It is fantastic technology for seeing what can’t be seen.
