Curious about resolution and range as well and whether it'd be of any practical use in a game or something.

Should have mentioned that:
1st pic is of a raclette grill :P

More importantly, it's hard to make out what you're looking at, in the environment. If there's not much contrast in heat signature of the scene around, you can't tell if you're looking at trees, building, or what. I can post a sample later.

I would tend to agree with that statement, in general
But I think what matters (if one were to use this in game) would not really be about discerning objects/people clearly but about identifying heat signature in a given direction If I were to use this in game, that's how I'd use it, just as a tool to identify general direction of a potential threat, then stop relying on this kind of thing.
