Comment on Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
robottoaster@mander.xyz@mander.xyz 1 month ago Even at $50 a chip I could see applications for this.

Yes, there is a lot of potential. There are micro-spectrometers available covering this range, like the MEMS-FPI type spectrometer or the multi-pixel arrays with filters (example: www.mantispectra.com/products). But this new kind of detector seems to come with higher resolution, faster readout than the MEMS-FPI, and more sensitivity. It is quite exciting, I’m curious to see if they commercialize it soon.
