Radiohead or 3D Head?

I just watched the video about radiohead and their use of Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics are scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes. I have to admit, the video was pretty cool... Only for the first few seconds. Then it got boring seeing these grainy images and distorted faces. The quality wasn't that great either. Sometimes it was great, other times it was bad. i know they might have thought it was cool at the moment, but I think it was a one shot thing because nobody else has really done that kind of video. Moving the images in the moving image thing was pretty sun too...again for a few minutes. but whatever. I get quite bored easily. it's not my fault!
