That's a very creative way of spicing up a boring old glass eye! I imagine such "wearable" tech could also be the ultimate version of those snapchat glasses.

Putting a battery inside your eye socket seems incredibly risky to me, though. Especially one that can power a bright light like this for a while...

He does mention that "safety is paramount" and that the light is at low power for now. I'm glad he's not just winging it.

I talked with my social circle just the other day how our timeline is really a Cyberpunk timeline with only technology and body augments seemingly lagging behind.

I am both excited and horrified, because that universe is pretty dark. I suppose I should be thanking our lucky stars we are not moving towards 40k universe.

I wonder what power laserpointer you could fit in there without going overboard with the battery... Imagine being able to light matches by looking at them for a bit.

On the other hand, every mirror would be a great chance to lose your other eye as well, so maybe disregard my ideas.

Where does the heat go? That seems like a couple watts at least.

> Does it get warm?

> Brian S (Creator): Nope not at all. LED's do not emit much heat and the Titanium body of the eye offers great heat shielding from any heat emitted.

I mean - 40k is set in the year 40k, roughly, right? We've got a lot of time.
