Being awesome that's what.

Interesting, yes. Innovative, yes.
But do you see any practical usages. A resonable viewing size would be a gigantic cylinder. Also, can you imagine gaming or watching something on it. To see all the action, you would constantly be needing to walk around it.
But it sure is interesting

I recently watched a program on TV dedicated to stuff like this.

One part was that you entered a huge sphere and you were inside a FPS game.

Neat thinking, but hardly practical in the long run.



I can see engineers/architects and the likes having use for this kinda stuff in preparations for various building projects but nothing for the Average Joe.

I have to agree with bokk. It's pretty cool and I'm amazed that technology has come this far, but it doesn't seem that practical for gaming purposes. For museum exhibits and the like, it's great. But from what I understand, standing at a different angle from the screen produces a different perspective on the image, so that means you have to be sitting directly in front of the screen to view it from the correct angle.

But who knows? Maybe this could change the nature of future video games.
