@scottalanmiller I can see this in warehouse distributions points. I work in a warehouse that's over 5 football fields long with rows and rows of parts. Staff pick parts and then have to take them back to the loading dock. Imagine if you could use this tech for extremely heavy items, bulky items, or just a large order. The picker doesn't have to know how to operate a forklift, trudge a pallet jack, or exert a lot of force to move the product from point a to point b.
There is definitely real-world applications, just not in the consumer's hands.
That sounds like a job for conveyor belts. Its hard to imagine any type of hoover board working on extremely heavy items at this stage of its development. Maybe in 10-15 years though.
