Thanks! That makes a lot of sense, I might dig into this after work some more.

By "big deal," I meant more for people specializing around computer graphics, computer vision, or even narrower subfields of either of those two -- a big deal from an academic interest perspective.

Sure, this might also have implications in society and business, but I'm a nerd, and I appreciate a good nerding out over something cool, niche, and technically impressive.
