The video is a bit slow because it's meant to be instructional. There are other videos on the same page which show how the model (graph) can be viewed logically instead of isometrically (what we call spatially).
I'm the CTO, happy to answer questions.
When I look through a digital camera, I see the stars but I know the photons are fraudulent. The information is there, but it's lost something.
With analog, if I could focus better, I'd see more and more detail, until it's inseparable from noise, but it's still in there somewhere
With digital, if I zoom, I know I'll find just a pixel or a cold dead square wave.
If you are heading out for a social event, take your good clothes to the gym, workout, shower and change there, then go straight to the event while you are feeling peppy and confident!
The difficult part however is pairing the points between the images. You and I do that easily, because when we see, for example, the top left corner of our refrigerator, we can easily identify that same point in both images, probably because we recognize the objects we are looking at. A computer has more trouble pairing the points.
Lidar is a way a cheating, by temporarily shining a dot on the locations so that the points can be found and coordinated easily from both images.
The additional cognitive load is worth it for me.
