Looks cool. Doubt it will go mainstream for a number of reasons:

- Using your hands in a stress position for a long time on a flat screen leads to strain injuries.
- Flat panel keyboards don't have the tactile feedback that most people want.
- Most people deal with words and numbers in a computer, not shapes.
- The real benefit to separating input and output is you aren't covering your visual display with anything, also you can adjust distances to suit your eyes.

I can see it being popular with artists that use tablets and the like at the moment, but not your average computer user.
