That's my take, too--it would be infinitely more useful in a work environment.
I can imagine how having a HUD could be useful while programming, even though I have two screens in front of me already.
I can also imagine how it would make certain elements of interacting with people working remotely--like seeing what someone's doing, whether it's programming in a terminal or sketching on a pad--so much easier.
That said, it'd definitely stay in an office drawer after-hours.
