Yeah I was ready to be excited.

I mean, it's the first prototype iteration of it, I'm sure there'll be aesthetic improvements. Not to mention, this might be something some people would only use for specific situations where faster, more natural feeling conversation could be beneficial (e.g. meetings, presentations, meet and greets, etc) versus all day everyday. Lastly, even if used all day, every day, if you're turned off from someone with a disability because they use a device like this, then honestly it's helping that person avoid assholes.

Edit: I'm apparently wrong, this is the 2nd iteration. But the first iteration was even bulkier and more obvious, so it doesn't really contradict my first point.

It sure seems like a cool accessibility tool, but he spent the whole time taking about why he did it, and magnets, that it glosses over the "how does it work?" Part that really matters. It's not just a keyboard, so I'm sure there's more to it. I'm hoping he has other videos that explain the concept.
