Are we seriously going to overlook the outrageous price tag on hyperspectral cameras? Tens of thousands of dollars for technology that should be accessible to everyone. The article on Waverider highlights how these cameras capture spectral data one pixel at a time, but what good is that if only the elite can afford them? I recently tried to get my hands on one for a community project, and the sticker shock was enough to make me question our priorities. Why isn't there a push for affordable alternatives? It’s about time tech companies realize that innovation shouldn't be priced out of reach for the average person. Let's demand better solutions that serve everyone, not just those with deep pockets. Wake up, tech industry! The future should be inclusive, not exclusive. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/13/waverider-scanning-spectra-one-pixel-at-a-time/ #TechForAll #AffordableInnovation #HyperspectralCameras #InclusionInTech #WakeUpTech
