It sounds like they have an outsized amount of bookings compared to recognized revenue:
The company has sold a hundred devices and already delivered several dozen to shopping malls, airports and movie theater lobbies. “We’ve manufactured and delivered several dozen,” Nussbaum said.
I wonder what their challenge has been in recognizing that revenue. If it’s a matter of delivery capacity, R&D, or something else.
At $60,000, it feels a little steep to me personally, but I would more than happily pay for the spectacle — like a movie theatre ticket price.
Besides that, I’ve always thought volumetric displays would be a good way to visualize information. If the display is large enough, it’s a much better way to view certain datasets. Combined with certain gesture recognition technologies, this really does feel like technology that could be welcome in conference rooms.
From a home entertainment, this reminds me of DVDs with multiple angles. Although it never was popular at the time, I think that it’d be awesome to watch a football game or play age of empires on such a display.
