seek thermalWe’re not sure how many of you guys will actually need thermal imaging, but in case you do, you might be interested in a device called Seek Thermal. This is a relatively affordable thermal imaging attachment for your smartphone that basically turns your phone into a thermal imaging device.

Seek Thermal will attach to the iPhone via the Lightning port and will rely on chalcogenide lens and a vanadium oxide microbolometer to help create the thermal imaging effect. Priced at $200, it is probably one of the more expensive iPhone accessories, but it is still cheaper than the FLir One thermal imaging case released earlier this year at $350.

So why would anyone need thermal imaging? Well apart from military use, some of the suggestions for thermal imaging as pointed out by the company includes using it at night in a carpark lot to see if there could be suspicious characters hiding and getting ready to rob you. It can also be used for cooking to check the temperature of your grill, and as for home improvement, it can also be used to spot weak insulation or even water damage.

There is an Android version of the Seek Thermal as well which will connect to Android devices via micro USB. If you’d like to learn more or get your hands on the device, head on over to their website for the details.
