By the way, chips have a long way to go according to this quote from page 3: "Looking at a 120-degree field of view, the eye's resolution is equivalent to about 576 megapixels."

our resultion only peaks in dead center, and tahts assuming you have perfect vision.
even a few inches in either direction our vision becomes very blurry.
also resolution figures of our eyes are a pointless comparison to cameras because we only have one FOV and one "size", its not like we can go home and download our thoughts into meter high posters or pocket pictures.
