This reminds me a lot of a video of a retired man that uses his new free time moving large objects just by leveraging gravity. I can't find it right now but I think that there's a potential there for new ways movement just like the vertiwalk.
It's of those technologies so obvious, I don't understand why it's new. Often that signals genius or my ignorance: Why now? Often the answer is, another tech's development enabled this one. Is that the case? They say here only: > Vertical Walking is a new system to move yourself between floors in a building.

Did you watch the video? I get it's annoying not being able to scrub, but (one minute into the video) you can see that it's a simple system.

You do the same thing with prusiks to ascend a rope. Here's an example of a practical application, getting out a crevasse when climbing glaciers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px_m3qzHYTA In an alpine scenario you'd descend by rappelling. I doubt folks in a home want to setup a munter hitch or similar though. :)
I hope I never have to use this. Knowing myself, I'd typo the knot and fall to my death.
