He uses a succession of words to make the argument, including “proportion,” “glass,” “feature,” “fair,” “deformed,” “world,” “shadow” and “nature.”" Though I'm far from being an expert in this area this is the first time I've heard of the above mentioned software being mentioned in the digital humanities or humanities computing context.
