A good friend of mine at Google is the technical lead of this project (he has a Phd Princeton, and was a professor before joining Google).
I've tried it in person and it was truly amazing. They used some very fancy tech when I saw the demo, so I'm thrilled it is finally being announced and possibly shared with a larger audience.
Explanation of why it is amazing: It totally fools your perception. No glasses or goggles--but rather an 8k display with special glass that allows your different eyes to see different pixels (a light field).
They also optimize the sound, and the rest, so as all the testimonials point out, you actually feel like the person is in front of you.
It also works for the "cube" around them, so if they hold up some object, it also feels like that is in front of you.
