It appears that endoscope imaging market attracts more and more players. TI recently opened a dedicated page devoted to endoscopic solutions. Also, according to the new Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai, the company sees the endoscope market as one of its top priorities (Bloomberg).
What are the main applications of such device? The image quality seems very low, even the demo video on Awaiba's site is of very poor quality.
