One drawback to the device... It gives you cancer as it transfers an image...

@qbslug probably due to recent studies showing that cellphones/bluetooth signals can be harmful to your body, so for wireless mics for controllers and such you can imagine a headset on your ear that uses only electric impulses through your body to the controller in your hand. It's not a perfect idea, but it is interesting to say the least, and can have its own merit.

@Dasman86 That's not 100% true. It all depends on the current rate traveling through your body. If the battery is discharged fast enough, it could kill you. Same thing is true in reverse with lightning bolts. Lighning bolts can be 100,000v or more but won't kill because their current is low.

I wonder if it'll cause cancer =L=;;;

[Dasman86]

The human body already its own electrical field. And have you ever been zapped when you touch metal or another person? If you have then you've certainly had current go through your body. Your cell phone battery could totally unload its charge into you with no problem.
