Raspberry Pi No-IR camera for use in Public Lab Spectometry project?

[jimwelsh]

The ability to purchase a webcam that has never had an IR filter installed, such as the Raspberry Pi "No-IR" camera is interesting.  The interface for this camera is not USB though.  Does anyone have any ideas about how one might be able to easily use this particular camera module in a Public Lab style spectometry project?

It is actually a great idea to use the Raspberry Pi as the "brain" of the camera, because you can run a fully fledged linux or Android OS on it, control it via WLAN (e.g on a kite or balloon), download the pictures immediately, or have photo stitcher scripts make the map while it's being taken, and upload it right away to a website...
