A) I LOVE this kind of tech. Anything that makes this world feel like the sci-fi books I grew up reading - I’m in! B) I think the challenge for this startup will be whether they find enough use cases for it. Whether it is pre-op debrief or some topographical review - screens can do it today in 2D for much cheaper and they do not require a bespoke table installation.

I think this company is betting on its tiles providing a better UI for its holograms in the future... but it will be costly to develop them.
Yeah, I can see that being a good midway solution.
I also wonder if this is like Apple Vision, just needs a lighter form factor one or two killer apps to get the ecosystem going.
