That is mainly what I meant, it looks like the wrong application. Unless they make it hover on top of the wheels, I don't think they are going to find a practical application.
 
I wonder if they are going to try to come up with a system to keep the rollers clean. Imagine trying to use a old roller ball type mouse on a gritty parking lot, dusty warehouse floor or dirt drive way. The article talked about lift truck applications, I worked on fork lifts at my last job. They aways came in with banding material and stretch wrap wound up in the wheels.
