Saw this and thought it was a neat idea.  I do not see myself getting this but if a person really needs to know it seems to be a simple way to know the volume.

One of those things that I see and go "why did I not think of that"

I lift it up if i need a guesstimate. If i was going to go all serious about keg levels i'd put together a load cell system. The amount in the keg is rarely that important to me.

Only really important to me if I am having a party but usually I have kegs set aside for that anyway.

That is definitely an interesting gadget, just not practical for me. I have way too many kegs on tap, and I don't mind being surprised when a keg goes empty because I have so many ready to be put on tap. Plus, I try not to go into the walk-in when I can because it adds too much heat and moisture each time I open the door.
