My pessimistic prediction:
Many Rabbonim will mattir this invention. More will assur it. There will be a massive tummult as to who holds what, and who we can and should follow. Some segments of Jewry will adopt this as standard practice, while many more will eschew it. And once again, an invention meant to bridge divides will result in ever higher walls of separation, with each side blaming the other for being unreasonable.
I just hope that one somewhat unified psak can be given, and all that agony can be avoided.
