I saw a live demo a few weeks ago. Interesting approach and promising technology. Hope the first apps will drive the roadmap to higher resolutions. The imager hast to compete against ToF and Triangualtion Linescan Imagers.
There is a problem in the photo-tranduction stage. The gain slope of a logarithmic response is compressed by the ambiant light level, so the laser spot detection could be difficult under strange ambient light. In a linear sensor, when the pixel is not saturated, the ambiant light increases the shot noise but doesn't desensitilize the pixel response.
