Come on, there's a lot to be critical about in this video, but do you honestly think he faked a British accent to appear smart? There's a few million of them that talk like that, you know. And the word search for money being lame subliminal messaging? Really?
Maybe I am being unfair, but that accent seemed a bit fake.
Is it sparse voxel octrees? http://s08.idav.ucdavis.edu/olick-current-and-next-generatio... Is it GigaVoxels? http://artis.imag.fr/Membres/Cyril.Crassin/
I think this will pick up if the right conditions get in place.

Sounds like a good implementation of Ray-Tracing. Lighting and animation are going to be major hurdles to overcome, followed by tools.
I knew something like this would come up the day the polygon-based 3D was out. The nice graphical games we played suddenly had turned into cold, rigid polygonic characters (E.g. the difference between Diablo I and Diablo II, or AOE or Age of Kings anyone? (Can't forget the moment Griswald the Blacksmith was moving towards me as a polygon zombie in Diablo II, where he looked like a decent Scottish lad in Diablo I). Wh…

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 doesn’t touch any unneeded points, all it wants is 1024x768 (if that is our resolution) points, one for each pixel of the screen.
A big part of what video cards do is not focused on models. It's focused on lighting and shading. That's what gives games realism, something completely lacking in these demo scenes. Make a tech demo that blows Crysis out of the water that runs in software on commodity hardware and we'll talk. Hire some fucking artists if you need to. Saying "this is just programmer art" is a copout. It's like a slacker student who sa…
However, I'm certainly willing to attempt to do battle with the uncanny valley if they let me.
