Wow, interesting idea! That thing is massive though, judging by the
finger for scale in the video, it's gotta be like 3"x1.5", though it
looks fairly thin. I found some more photos on their facebook:

( just look for a post from Oct 1st)
It actually says in a post below that one that Tim Cannon will be
implanting it in his arm - sure seems big for the arm, where would you
put it?!?
Looking forward to seeing videos of it actually working under the skin :-)
