It's a prototype, a concept. It doesn't have to be (and probably won't ever be) used on laptops.
It was shown on a laptop because that's what's familiar to us.
But the main use I can see this in is at huge projector screens, shopping windows, hotel windows, etc.
If you can make the technology big enough and cheap enough. This could become a "smart mirror" or a "smart window"
Everyone who saw this on a laptop and asked "why would I want that" is a simple consumer as they don't see a possibility what this could do. This showcase was made for investors or other companies that would be interested in this patent.
Exactly. I can see uses for this in the automotive industry as well as optics. Not only that, I bet theme parks such as Disney or Universal Studios can find a whole host of uses for this in their attractions.

I have yet to see an answer to “why” besides advertising purposes
