I think some people are underestimating the significance of this product/technology. This is by far the greatest implementation of 3D and holographic emulation into a sell-able product. On top of that, it's a piece of art.
All of us tech weenies can say that we could build this cheaper etc...but there are a lot of technicalities that would prevent it from working as the holocube. Reflecting an image off of glass, while doing it in such a way to "suspend disbelieve" is no small task. Then try wrapping it up into a product that doesn't have a laptop strapped to it and 5 cords hanging out of it etc...
Hat's of to the Holocube innovators from Belgium. Consider me impressed!
