I concur.

It sounded like BS the first time I saw it, several years ago. This new 
video is much longer, but it still sounds like BS.

I can't imagine how you would make low-latency access direct from 
low-bandwidth devices like spinning disks or network shares and yet at 
the same time take up less space than the original data. The only way I 
can think of that you could rapidly access billions of points and render 
them in real-time is if you've precomputed stuff like crazy - and that 
wouldn't give you any compression at all. Quite the opposite, in fact. 
Add to that the need for ordering the data for sequential access, which 
you can't do for *every* viewpoint simultaneously, and... this product 
really, really sounds like fairydust.
