I'm in a process of renovating a house. I can easily imagine using HoloLens to help with making decisions on interior decorations, furniture placement, bath elements, it could just that great when you're starting with an empty space and need to put things in it. The only drawback with a HoloLens system is that when you own one, you probably don't need many real things, some virtual ones can act as placeholders.

I was watching the video in the article, I had the thought that this could lead to people building special VR/AR rooms, which are painted all-white and maybe have somewhere to sit but otherwise are just empty rooms, waiting to be filled with virtual objects and screens.

Absolutely, it would be a great ROM for gaming as well

Is that a drawback? Perhaps to consumerism and the global economy, but you're going to be able to save a lot of money on "stuff."
