The idea of having individual pprocess capable devices is not so far fetched.

Not at all- this would be the simplification of the interface to already existing solutions - just imagine the new ones it makes possible

Doesn't matter how proprietary their systems are - they have broken new ground in so man fields that later became daily accepted use items.
