We've got millions of pixels in sensors that are sub-eye sized on every freakin cellphone make in the last 5 years. Time and money. I hope they put in infrared and UV modes. :D Well, MIT may be behind but if the concept is solid, technology has proven to be pretty much exponentially scalable as far as computerized things are concerned, so it will just be a matter of fabbing up bigger chips to make more points.
