"this isn't of use to me, so it must not be any use to anyone?" - That could be applied to many aspects of photography.
My sadness is this is unlikely to be commercialised in any useful way, but if it were, I'd snap it up. Put it another way, the raw material cost shouldn't be much different from others, but lacking the volume benefits will make it unaffordable. I guess my mindset is a bit different than most. I see data that can be manipulated in better ways, if it were available. But there is no free lunch and will be tradeoffs. I will make do with the "good enough" existing DSLR technology while I wait for mirrorless to similarly reach that level - for what I do, before that triggers a different set of arguments!
