Sony is a large company and I think their plans are to go after the professional markets rather than the consumer markets. They have divisions that specializes in industrial, aerospace flight entertainment, flight recording systems and other areas. This product will fit into those types of groups first. In five years it is much more likely to become a big factor in personal computing, IMO. I personally got all jacked up about the opportunities in this field a couple of years ago and found that I was way off in the time frame for being practical for consumer markets. There are many niche applications that can utilize the approach including several medical training and aide areas, help for the learning impaired, sports training and sports medicine - whenever you think you've heard all the areas it could be of significant advantage more diverse applications crop up. Like any really new technology, it will take a while for it to be refined, gain momentum and for the cost to be wrung out before mass markets are likely.
