I mean it is cool but how is it cooler than VR? VR can achieve the exact same effect as this and more.

Because VR doesn't scale up like this. If you want multiple people interacting with the same virtual surface, this is much better than VR.
Yes I think it is much cooler than VR. This would be used every day. No one is going to use it on a table to to play the 2 half decent games it can do /snark. But in the kitchen in the wall mode, with some good Google Assistant integration. Vs VR? No one uses VR everyday. However the cynic in me guffaws at the VR price level. Jesus Christ. Way to much. At least with an ok VR rig I have a general purpose computer to use or put to work. Maybe I'm wrong but I can see this being used everyday in the morning and evening. It would become a fixture. VR only exists for gaming. No one is going to put VR goggles on every day to watch the news or check the time.

False dichotomy. There's a huge range of potential and real applications for VR that are neither games nor "watching the news".
Pop back here when you've tried SoundStage, TiltBrush, some decent social VR, CAD or interior design in VR, some high-quality VR storytelling experiences, training/education VR, historical reconstructions, music visualization, data visualisation, a physics sandbox, visual programming, interactive character animation etc.
