Just a gimmick.

I'd prefer an electronic eyepiece which amplifies light and stacks images which are streamed to a smartphone or tablet with augmented reality and plate solving over it, preferably without internet connection which is possible with current technology. This allows that existing telescopes can be used like an Unistellar beside traditional observing or astrophotography.

But even this I consider as an extra beside standard observing with glass eyepieces, and not as a replacement, just like astrophotography.
There is nothing like a real starry sky.
