Someone's going to develop a serious case of gorilla arm.

For intensive browsing, sure. For more "casual" sessions I think it makes sense.

The most obvious use case is browsing the web while eating/doing manual work and your hands are dirty. I use the web a lot for cooking instructions and I could definitely use that.

What's with leap motion and gorilla arm? lol

It refers to the ergonomic problem inherent to the "minority report" style interface used for any extended period of time[1], though to be fair to the creators of this project, this is very clearly presented as a casual, alternative interface, not one to replace mouse and keyboard.
