It's been 'under development' for years. I first saw information about it at
least 2 1/2 years ago. The results can't be anything but mediocre. The
resolution is very low. It uses an inexpensive CMOS sensor (which are
improving, but this is old).
They seem to have gotten investment money and not gone anywhere.
