I agree with your assessment. I saw a voxiebox demonstrated at the NIAC symposium last year, and I was quite impressed. Being able to display a real-time 3D picture of my face as I made expressions was pretty cool. However, with the price point and mechanical manufacturing required for it, I don't think it will ever become mass-market in its current form. The state of the technology reminds me of the PDP-11 before PCs became a common thing; the basics are in place but it's just not quite there yet. I don't want to invest in a voxiebox, but I think I would bet strong on whatever replaces it.
