Square tiling is very obvious, as you can see from the first example [0]. Hex tiling shifts tiles to a less obvious pattern. Also, as I can see from the video, tiles can be rotated while hiding the seams perfectly, which eliminates repetition altogether.

Is that first example comparing squaring filing with the same _fixed_ rotation for each tile versus hex-tiling with random or otherwise varying rotation?
