Would be really interesting to combine with creative activities like this VR sculpting demo:
this plus magic leap could be pretty awesome for AR/VR

That's pretty crazy. Given certain applications, you're pretty much creating actual items out of thin air. Like for instance, if you can create a screwdriver-shaped thingy that is "feelable" enough that you can actually turn a screw with it, then... you don't really need an actual screwdriver. Plus you can just make it disappear into thin air when you're done with it.
