    Yeah, but the pictures are different and now there’s a video.

    I have to admit, when I started watching the video (without reading anything else), I thought this was a pretty stupid and pointless gadget, but when I realized it was integrated with the camera for real-time graphics and saw the really cool results toward the end of the video, I was really impressed. Very cool.
