While I totally get that this isn't going to quite "change everything" what really stuck out to me is their use of geometry shaders to do the animations with voxels. Very interesting. I have a fork of google draco where I've been working on getting animated point clouds into unity compressed then adding geometry shaders to them. I think there are very unique experiences coming for us with point cloud tech and voxel tech, but they probably wont replace our polys any time soon for gaming or anything.
