First problem: power and connectivity - you can't have wires dangling from inside your skull or eyes.

Second, that _completely_ ignores touch, which is the largest of the senses. There's a reason car companies are going back to knobs!

Third problem, all devices produce heat. Lasers, LEDs, and cameras. There's a hard limit to how much heat you want to conduct into the cornea.

Fourth problem: it will all be used for advertising, surveillance and disinformation anyway. Beamed directly into your skull and eyes so you can't avoid it? Awesome.
