    we already have tiny flexible screens and the means to beam video data to it wirelessly. we also have microscopic chip litography to handle it.

      But no small or translucent batteries

        the obvious solution to this problem is running a convenient wire from your eyeball 🤪

          How would you power them without a battery? It doesn’t matter if it’s really power efficient if it isn’t getting any power.

            Wirelessly. Like an NFC tag.

            Not saying it would be super practical but if you custom shaped them you could put a wire coil around all of the non seeing parts of the eye.

            im not saying it wouldnt be a challenge, but isnt solar panel tech possible here?

            it just has to be really power efficient.
