IMO this is a fantastic use of this technology. The bandwidth is low enough to enable videoconferencing on a dial-up connection. I only wonder how big the model is - gigabytes I bet.
The article state that it does send over at least 1 key-frame.
That might be used to find coefficients in a much smaller model, similar to how Active Appearance Models approximate a lot of faces with a relatively small model.
