For the most part I agree with you, Saiph. I do think that there is a potential use for people who are physically disabled where this technology may help them execute tasks easier, but most of the ideas I'm thinking of could be executed with a tablet anyways. There is also potential to share/collaborate with these sorts of projectors (think video chat on steroids). Having a collaborative touchscreen accessible to many parties at once is kind of neat<br>

the technology. A big, fat sledge hammer in search for tiny nails. I agree that
this is 'cool' technology, but no one has designed anything that would
make it useful, practical, elegant, solving a real problem, ... All of what
they show is utterly useless, looks bad , and - in a best case scenario -
makes you sick because everything is shaking.<span>
