Besides ridiculously dodging the BIS subject, "NP PR" makes another mistake... by using just a single "user account" to constantly reply its nonsense... thus getting to a point where people reading the pages start to feel nausea about that... brand.
I mean... look at this thread... it's like a tennis court... NP guy trying to kick all the balls thrown at him that he think it might put the free versions of interfaces or software or even hardware in a bad light. But letting slip what it's "unpleasant" for NP to respond.
Question for NP.
Would NP consider to dump the production of consumer class cameras (TIR 4 and 5) due to the fact that multicores CPUs these days need only a tiny fraction of their power to calculate what "the chip" on their TIR cameras does?
NP could still sell the NP head clip or reflector and a more simple camera without the chip. Maybe including in the camera kit a small plastic (cheap) mechanism with which the user could quickly and conveniently switch the camera from a standard Webcam (with IR filter on and vis light filter off, maybe even some IR leds on for reflector use) to a IR only webcam (that has IR filter removed and normal light filter on).
Such camera and clip package could be sold around 40$ and given the fact that the software can be made in spare time (hey... look at the others...) would be much cheaper and better penetrate the market niche.
NP could still pretend that their interface is "better" and compete with the other market solutions...
Doesn't sound like a juicy business eh? I bet it doesn't...
