From the video -

The Unlimited Detail engine works out which direction the camera is facing and then searches the data to find only the points it needs to put on the screen it doesnt touch any unneeded points, all it wants is 1024*768 (if that is our resolution) points, one for each pixel of the screen. It has a few tricky things to work out, like: what objects are closest to the camera, what objects cover each other, how big should an object be as it gets further back. But all of this is done by a new sort of method that we call MASS CONNECTED PROCESSING. Mass connected processing is where we have a way of processing masses of data at the same time and then applying the small changes to each part at the end.

The result is a perfect pure bug free 3D engine that gives Unlimited Geometry running super fast, and it's all done in software.

It's definitely one very ugly model and presentation - I wouldn't buy it after this display.

I wouldn't either, but I would give him a second look if he comes back with a better presentation.

One youtube commenter raises the question of how he handles moving things. I wonder how that goes, too.

certainly when you start to add layered effects (partially reflective / transparent) materials and having to calculate a number of bounces it would require more than the screen resolution number of pixels to sample. But so probably no worse than the current polygon stuff...

Actually this could be really cool if the whole volume is filled with particles - natural volumetric lighting
