The Global Shgutter Camera is not really for fast objects or high-speed video. It's for machine vision applications. Use of a global shutter means both that metrology of non-stationary objects is possible with acceptable accuracy (e.g. objects on a moving conveyor), and with genlocking you can use multiple cameras viewing the same object or scene and ensure that all pixels will be captured over the same period of time (e.g. for volumetric tracking applications).

I wonder if that would also be beneficial for a motion capture array? Certainly a lot cheaper than a bunch of iphones...

That's what I meant by 'volumetric tracking applications'.
