..what i love abt this idea is its pure elegance: it crosses paradigms & mashes ideas effectively....- uses the energy used to gather water to also purify it. We need more ideas like this on the planet.

It's a POV system that relies on the fact that your eyes are constantly moving. The viewer will notice something unusual about the light strip when it's first observed. Not until the viewer moves their head rapidly will the hidden message be visible.

I don't see that changing in the next year or two.

Novelty is not the only value proposition out there. There's a good reason why some strategies are timeless. The tactics/tools/techniques may change - but the overriding strategies remain ...People who mistake tactics for strategy will think that the newest/latest tactic must be the best.
