I ALREADY said why it is useless: Because it requires projectors!

" I'd say presenting in a boardroom, or dynamically working with kids in an interactive classroom are all useful, legitimate demands for this technology." --

This makes the most sense to me, given this "argument". You are playing MS defense force.

Contradict yourself much?  You say it is useless, because it "uses projectors".  How does that make this technology useless, especially in the context of demonstration, presentation, and interactivity?  Would this not fulfill the purposes I have outlined?  Has anything been demonstrated like this before?  It's not even a product in the market yet you in your infinite wisdom proclaims it to be useless.

At first I thought you were just ignorant, but you finally were able to comprehend that each and every piece of Lightwave has utility. That's what is so absurd about your argument.

You have admitted that the 3D sensing technology is very useful.  Yet merely the addition of a projector makes this concept "useless", and you have no real explanation why except for a sophmoric example about moving files around when this demo is clearly not about that - it is about making an entire volume of space interactive.

Furthermore, you trivialize the work of a group of talented researchers by calling their work "copying" when it is clearly not.

And now you are lashing out hoping nobody will see that you have no argument left that doesn't border on absurdity.  Keep dancing, it is hilarious seeing you flounder and bluster because you made an ignorant, worthless post with zero  thought behind it and I just happened to call you out on it, admittedly largely for my amusement.  Bravo, you have been very entertaining, something I sorely needed after my pathology/microbiology midterms.

What happened to your turret concept?

And yes, using the tech in coordination with a projector is useless because it doesn't present any new capabilities that don't already exist. 

Please, for once, answer what I asked and explain how it would function in these theorized roles in excess of what current tech is capable of delivering. 

I have thought it out and explained why it doesn't work in a functional way beyond what we currently have (which is also very cheap).

EDIT: Oh, by the way, do you then agree that you saw my post, decided it was worthless and responded simply due to that impression without having known much about the system itself? Because you pretty much admit that you were playing defense force.
