Unfortunately, this only works from a specific angle, as the calibration needs to take viewer perspective into consideration. They criticize the more standard Pepper's Ghost and its "undesirable seams and [...] difficult[ty] to fuse at oblique viewing angles" -- but their project has no viewing angles. It's basically a 2D plane because your head and eyes must remain stationary (but the iPad can spin).

On the contrary, last few seconds of video demonstrate a pretty wide viewing range.
The range shown looks comparable to low quality LCDs before off axis causes color shift. People accept those LCDs, seems that angle would be plenty for this purpose since they also let you (appear to) spin the object.
