Made the U-Tube hot. At the 4:27 mark they talk about IR goodies.

Interesting they call it a "liquid lens." I always wondered if the properties of liquid would / could contribute to making a better / dynamic lens.

It all has to do with the refractive index of the liquid, which can be adjusted with various different soluble chemical solutions and/or electrical charge.

So who will have it first TheHorta or the Skypup?

Hmmm, I recognized a few faces and places there.

This technology grew out of the laser research SNL has been doing.

I am ordering mine through TrackPoint/FLIR so the optics can all be integrally packaged together for total day/night coverage:

If you want to learn more about liquid lenses look at Applied science on YouTube. He makes his own. It was pretty neat.
