Successful Kickstart for new calibration solution
« on: August 02, 2016, 20:01:02 »
Currently I see X-Rite which swallowed Gretag a few years back and a software solution by BasicColor that seems to use X-Rite hardware.

It seems to be a good idea to have a second player in the market. Chances are good:

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thanks for the link Frank,

This looks interesting and as you say some competition can't do any harm.

That's certainly interesting, though I find it slightly worrying that they have a $20k goal. That's not a lot of money for creating both the hardware and the software.

I always have a close look to KickStarter / seed money projects.  But I still do not see what will be their competitive advantage against e.g. Datacolor / Spyder
