Very cool video. I want a web browser on the back of my hand, though.

Having not read Nanomedicine, I'll ask a stupid question. Why put a
display on your hand? If you've got the degree of control over cells
that seems to be required, why not act directly on the retina or on
that patch of visual neurons in the back of your head (you know, the
upside-down-back-to-front ones, can't remember the name). I would
think you'd get a better result that way.

Of course, dermal display would be entirely cool as a fashion accessory.
