I saw it during an interview at Ft Lauderdale. I was interviewing for the optics metrology engineer position. It was as mind blowing as the op is stating. Absolutely stunning. This was 5 years ago. Signed a bunch of NDA papers so shouldn’t talk too much about it.

Allow us who haven't experienced it to highly doubt this. At the very best it looks like nifty tech that would be fun to play around with for a couple of hours until the novelty wears off, no more than that.

I tried one out maybe 3 years ago. It seemed clunky and awkward to me, and the projected scene glitched out a lot.

I tried my friend's oculus rift around the same time, and it felt immersive and fun.

Have you considered that the demo may have been faked (for example maybe they preprogrammed it with room geometry that was acquired some other way)?

From what I understand - the demo was using a completely different set of technology from that which eventually came out.

It had been proposed that this may be one way some of this tech gets adopted- purpose built and maintained rooms just for AR / VR / XR.

Its not a baf ifea if you have the right tradeoffs. The tech to make that worth it is going to be at least a decade away IMO.
