I wonder how they will make the screens look high quality when sat next 
to them, without requiring gigapixels of camera data and TB/s of data.

They recently got that monkey to control the limbs of another sedated 
monkey remotely, next you could connect the output of an eye in one 
person to the optic nerve of another, then after that there's nothing to 
stop a computer or camera being used to inject signals directly onto the 
optic nerve - no need for a screen ever again!
