I remember watching this video when it was released. I was absolutely enthralled by this kind of technology, and this was like glancing into a crystal ball of the future to come. I literally used this video in a research paper about the benefits of VR and it's application in burn victim therapy as well as the potential for general-population use. Since VR didn't exist at the time in a consumer-friendly manner (nor with the processing to actually run it), this was the next best thing, and a lot of my friends in highschool discussed this mechanic being used in conjunction with things like the Xbox Kinect or Playstation's camera/move controllers.
When I learned this guy got hired by google, I was stoked. It felt like 'one of us gamers' was getting recognition for what could be. It's too bad google dropped the ball a bit on their glasses/AR work, but the overall industry has taken this kind of concept and blasted into modern VR and AR now. What a wild ride 15 years has made, and we're not even done yet.
