Is this really much different than current time-of-flight cameras / flash LIDARs? It looks like a slightly modified version of one of those with a lower frequency pulse or something to bounce backwards towards the stick person.
Cool, definitely. But maybe not as novel as it may seem.

There's a little bit of discussion in these two papers on the relationship between LIDAR and the "full" solution to transient illumination:

Mmm. A 3D CAT scan but with light in the visible range instead of X-rays.
