      I’ll answer the light one –

      Light comes to us in the form of a wave, it has a wavelength associated with it. Now it depends what light you look at, for example infrared is in the sub mm i.e a little less then mm in length per sinusoid

      I’ll take the artificial intelligence part. I think that to a large extent what we are depends on the biological make-up of our brains and on the fact that it has a body. It’s true that it’s not impossible but to make an artificial intelligence that is so close to humans would actually require us to create a biological human.

      About gaming, I’ll guess you mean something like ‘augmented’ reality.
      I believe it’s possible and would be possible in the future, to let’s say stimulate parts of your brain to feel the smell and feel of specific environments in games. Today though some of it would involve sticking electrode through your skull 🙂 I don’t think the coolness of the experience is worth it. But as technology advances it would be possible without any invasive surgery.
