The difference is this doesn't solve any problems. It is just a new way to do the same things. It isn't even any faster. At least the computers in the 80s were a faster way to do what we could do on paper or with older computers.
I think there is pretty interesting potential for 3D design to be much superior in a stereoscopic interface than the flattened version of it you get on a 2D screen. Consuming anything 3 dimensional has the same potential benefits. Basically, you’re dismissing the third dimension with a wave of your hand. I’d keep that question open until we see more what application there are. People did say that the Mac was NOT an easier way of doing paper things and that they already had good ways of doing all office tasks. Look at how far the Mac has come from its genesis though. And it’s only true feature, at the bottom of it all, was using a mouse visually instead of keyboard commands. An interface style that was more intuitive and made things discoverable. Virtual computing can easily be as big a jump as that.
It doesn't solve any problems that you have thought of yet. There may be some cool stuff that none of us thought of that we'll find has become a part of our daily life in the future.
I'm not buying one but I'm glad they are working on stuff like this. It's a fully portable, wearable 3D computer system. We didn't use to have cool stuff like that and now we do.
