Yes but it's much more tiring to work with your arms up in the air like that than down on these tables.

Besides being featured in Hollywood techno-spy thrillers, I think regular folk like us will first start seeing these used in information kiosks (mall, convention centre maps etc...).

I'd like to use it with CAD, laying out bluprints in large scales on worksites. You could make changes to the original working files instead of marking up a blueprint and having to edit them later.

I would also hope they allow compatibility with "oldskool" peripherals such as keyboards and mice. It's always good to have alternative methods of inputing data. You never know with new technology exactly what's the most efficient technique to get your work done and it can be very personal. I still use a number of Windows shortcuts rather than mouse when I work. It would be stupid to entirely discard these legacy techniques.
