Ya, I was reading about that yesterday. Neat that be! Now, I can do a training with two different people. Now... how do I have two different voices going.. explaining stuff.

OH YA! (fake, suprised sounding crack in voice) we have ... AMS 5 Pro!

Besides the very interesting technology, I think the practical aspect of this screen may be a problem. The audio (as mentionned), the REAL application cases etc...

The new wireless headphones are great. Or *better yet* overhead directional audio technology:

The applications are mind boggling, i.e. two player gaming, teaching, testing, security (like in banks so clients see a different set of information than tellers), retail, entertainment, airplanes, design, editing, etc. You could have two people in the back seat of a car watching two separate shows on one screen. That's awesome.

All that is true, Corey, but I am a bit skeptic about having to rely on human behaviour (angle of view) for proper usage. A few degrees this way or that way and all bets are off...
My first impression.....

Yeah, no doubt the first generation will have usability issues. They should have some of that worked out by the third or fourth version. I definitely wouldn't buy one before then. :yes
