Very creative, maybe some day. But I think it will require serious developments in other areas too. Like technologies we don't even have yet.
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
don't necessarily need one if they are power efficent enough.
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.
you can beam tiny amounts of it ota. it just needs to be very power efficient.
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.
Just make it sodium based, and a good crying jag will replenish the battery.
im not saying it wouldnt be a challenge, but isnt solar panel tech possible here?
it just has to be really power efficient.
