I’m very keen to see this get battle tested in reviewers hands, and especially seeing what developers can make this thing do. The price is very high, but if it can live up to its claim of supporting AR desktops from a MacBook, I could see businesses and on-the-go freelancers getting some great use out of it where space may be limited.
I think it's uses go beyond that, but not necessarily for consumers.
This seems to be the device Microsoft promised HoloLens would turn into. There were a lot of cool and interesting uses developed for HoloLens, some of which ended up falling short because of limitations of the hardware like a really narrow field of view.
If this thing turns out well, then I'm excited to see how Apple makes a cheaper more consumer-oriented version going forward.
