What is it? A dead-end idea that will repeat the fate of the IrDA interface or a promising design that will increase the security of data transmission and allow

Potential problems:
The most obvious drawbacks are the direct “visual” contact of the two devices, which is clearly not a very high transmission rate.
Also, while there is no information about the cost of transmitters in the current and mass production.

Perspectives:
In my opinion, there are prospects, and for sure there will be very unusual applications that will be able to use the potential to its fullest (I do not mean the flower depicted in the figure, which requires watering). But I doubt whether this will become a mass technology. Although, perhaps, after some time, all mobile phones will get such an addition. At least it will be noticeably safer than bluetooth.
