Pretty interesting stuff. Will be cool if they can pull it off.

My only question is if the processing power can catch up enough for practical gaming use. other neat as hell.

Looks spectacular. We really need to evolve, this seems like the next step.

:devil

Realtime raytracing would be revolutionary. This? Not so much--it merely trades a polygon budget for a point budget.

People have been doing this since the 1970s. It's not new.

Voxel based graphics isn't a new concept. Additionally, this is more of a tech demo than an gameplay demonstration which is why I'm skeptical about it - there's no real animation done here, and I imagine calculating movement using a point cloud is a more intensive set of calculations. Still neat though.

The Minecraft guy goes so far as to call their representation of it a scam: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/8386977075/its-a-scam
