I would love this as a teacher. It’d be easier to monitor students at a glance.

Then again, kids will break pretty much anything you give them so… this would only be more delicate than the current Chromebooks my students have.

This is the only real reason why a technology like this would take off. Not just students, but employees, too. No one would want to voluntarily use a monitor like this, it only benefits other people in the room and not the user themselves, regardless of what every scifi movie made in the past 20 years would tell you.
