WHY IT MATTERS: I saw and tried this technology at CES2020. Scenarios were industrial, like watching for heat loss in refrigerators. Boring. The device is bulky, slow, low res, etc. Not very convincing.
But with covid-19, the same tech has a new purpose: equipment for security personnel to identify people with fever.
More interesting is that enhancing human vision with heat detection may become the killer app (pun intended) in this era of coronavirus scare. Imagine when Apple announces their iGlass with builtin heat sensor, "so that you can detect the infected colleagues in the boardroom". Crazy? Maybe, who knows...
