The videos there are misleading. The level of quality shown is nowhere near what that hardware can achieve. For example, in the "video from the lab", virtual objects are shown occluding someone's hands. That is not possible with the display technology they're using. Your real experience with the device will not be anything like the videos shown. The display will be more like a ghostly, low resolution overlay, with significant latency.

The sad thing is that the hardware actually looks pretty neat. This device should be cool enough that a realistic demo could easily sell it without misleading people. I hope Kickstarter starts cracking down on projects using pie-in-the-sky concept videos to raise expectations that they can't possibly deliver on.
