I'm sure it is extremely impressive. That means nothing when you're paying $3500 for a device that has no practical use. It doesn't even support any VR games, which is the only realistic usecase. Maybe they could rent them out for a few weeks because after that time you get bored of it immediately.
I think it's pretty clear their intended use was "spatial computing" which is apple marketing speak for a computer with floating displays. But they were fools to think that anyone wanted to walk around with this thing strapped to their face, much less that they would pay such a wild amount of money for it. Or that they would use that floating keyboard on a daily basis.
