Given that the results are so compelling even when pulled together by hand out of relatively primitive discrete components, I’m wondering why we shouldn’t expect to see full color, high resolution versions from every random 7-letter drop shipper on Amazon next Christmas?
But they're mostly kind of just toys. When you're limited to transparent glowing surfaces and you can't even touch them, there's really not a whole ton you can do. You can see a much larger non-spinning version made of LEDs suspended on cables [2] and it's very cool, but the novelty kind of wears off after a while, and you realize it's not the kind of display you're going to use for anything productive.
If you actually want real 3D visualization that can render anything at high quality and that you can interact with, it seems like VR/AR headsets are the way. (Though there are also the new 3D monitors that don't require glasses, but not a lot of people have gotten to see those in person yet.)
Maybe there's some kind of toy you could make with them to sell on Amazon though? Not really sure if there's a "killer app" for these things.

It would actually make a fantastic Princess Leia message toy!
Most of the ones I have seen/worked with have been much bigger than this small display, though.
