Why is any of that a good thing, though? I could already have a lot more screens than I currently do, but the two I have is just fine. What advantage do windows floating in space offer me over a physical monitor (that will make it worth strapping a headset on every time I sit down at my desk)?

Less space required. Not limited by the size of your workspace. Trivially move your workspace. Get more "screenspace" at the click of a button instead of having to spend $$$. Power efficiency.

Think about where this will be in 10-20 years, not where it is now. It will be like putting a pair of glasses on, not a huge headset. Once your workspace can exist in 3 dimensions, new paradigms will emerge for arranging a "desktop" that we can't even envisage right now.

Think how much space you could save in an open plan office! Twice as many seats at each desk. A CFO's dream.
