Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Apparently adverts for products which don't exist and never will exist are also nearly indistinguishable from adverts for advanced technology.
It's a designer's reboot of the "portable disk" interaction paradigm we have that started with cassettes and moved to floppies and disks and now portable hard drives/flash drives.
On one hand they talk about optical things, and then on the other hand they're talking about 'conductive'. Seriously? Regardless, you do not bypass the laws of physics. You need atleast a complete circuit for it to be powered. And if their cop-out is that it's got a super-micro-pico-tiny-high-density-capacitor then I'm not even going to bother poking holes anymore.
Well, there is a way but it's pointlessly slow - inductive power.
The whole concept is quite flawed in my opinion [EDIT - unless their plan is to showcase a theoretical ultrathin USB flash drive.]
Ok so ignoring the fact that this relies on magic... I think there is something to using physical locations to keep references to files. I can remember the shelf that I stored a notebook and the rough location in the notebook of a sketch for a project from 2005. I can't say the same about my filesystems even with the help of "cloud" services of more recent years. Our brains are definitely wired to get clues from lots…
It's on github [1]. Though I haven't created any video or documentation yet.

anyone who finds usb sticks cumbersome must have the motor skills of a walrus
