Biocard Idea
Many of us are very inundated by the prospect of putting together a biocard. However after seeing the potential in Wizards Unite I would think this would be a no brainier for Ingress Prime. On top of that Agents could order their biocards from within the scanner. The fact that this hasn't been implemented as both a feature and a great way to Monotize the App without creating another pay to win mechanic is beyond me.

I would presume any features like this will have to wait until after Redacted is retired.
A more flexible avatar like WU could be an option.
It might also be a way to encourage people to use Prime as Niantic is no longer updating Redacted.
I also can't wait to put an Enlightened Eye on my wizard photo.
So some specific ideas I had:
Be able to add the following 3d images using AR core:
Sunglasses, bursters, hats (definitely the fedora and a tinfoil one as a joke), clothing skins.
Effects:
Hair color filters, eye color filters and maybe some crackling green or blue energy a la Jack Norman or Makoto. Xmp explosion blastwave.
Stamps:
Medals. Niantic Project, Enlightened, megacorp, and Azmadi, 13magnus, and other logos.
Frames: standard biocard frames.
Additionally this would be helpful since the official Niantic biocard website is gone.
Niantic had a website where you could order cards. (I'm still going through a box of 1000 I ordered years ago.) They shut it down, probably due to underutilization.
It was for US residents only, leaving the rest of the world out in the cold. That might've been one of the reasons it being under-utilised.
The reason is the contract with the biocard producer expired. This might also be a reason why they moved away from physical cards as they had to obtain different companies for other regions and customs were a mess. I still wish the format was utilized as part of the digital packs.
