Bob, this is not targeted at end-consumers, but potential licensees, to allow evaluation of their granted patent and potential trade secrets included in the license deal. These prototypes also will allow those who want to understand the physics, e.g. universities. What they currently show is far from matured applications and integration. The first home VCR also weighted 15Kg. I'd like my mobile phone having this technology embedded.
