'Looks interesting. I'm not so sure if there is as much of a practical use for this, but there is certainly a new visual appeal.
I'd like to see more of a progression of the video-call/conferencing technology though--maybe even bridging the gap between computers and cell phones. While the tech exists, it's not well known or widely used enough to make a difference for a large group of people. I'm eager to see how this changes in the coming years.
