So hang on, they're directly lighting up the silicon? That seems a little unrealistic, as far as actually exploiting things in the wild goes (wouldn't a heat sink or other shroud interfere?)

Still neat and gives them more purchase on the more structured experimental stuff, but not like your going to get free seat warming instead of paying the subscription on your BMW with this...
