but like, thats enough for the camera to power itself. pretty cool no? we can deploy this tech without plugging it in.

you mean because it can also power a wireless transmitter or a large memory array storage? cuz a hologram that's not "plugged into something" might turn out to not be that useful.

Since you can run a PI on that level of power it seems enough?

It is, but do you really want your windows to have integrated cameras? You can't just add this on to a window because the light is transported to the edge of the glass and that is inaccessible in normal windows.
