Dunno about you, but I like watching PBS-TV concerts. Something nice about adding the visual to the vague directional hints of the audio. EVEN THOUGH the audio perspective doesn't match the visual perspective. Ever think about that? Of course, in a good recording, the sound follows the composer's intentions, not the true hall sound or the score. Even think about that?
I think this gizmo could provide a really grand immersive concert-hall experience. Hope they go with quality headphones (sure, fat chance of that). With immersive devices, the sound which is delivered might be true to the hall sound from the perspective of the listener... which is true indeed.

I've been keeping an eye on the Oculus Rift, but this Glyph looks pretty cool as well. Would be interesting to compare them both side by side. I have a feeling the headphones on this will be sub-standard since most companies seem to focus purely on the visual side of things when it comes to "hi def" combo devices. Ideally they would also offer a model without headphones so you could use your own.
