They look very cool but I would assume they suffer from some of the same problems that made geodesic domes somewhat impractical for living spaces. For example, round living spaces are aesthetically pleasing but it's not the most efficient use of space and there are real problems with integrating all the rest of your stuff - tv's, appliances, furniture etc - none of which is going to fit very well. Some people reportedly dislike the acoustics in domes which tend to carry even a whisper from one side to the other. On the plus side, these foam things would certainly be more weatherproof than geodesic domes which were notorious for leaking around the many seams.
