I wrote my thesis about lacing patterns for spokes on a bicycle wheel [0] after trying to build my own wheel and experiencing how difficult it can be. Simple in theory, hard to master. Really cool to see some tech reaching this space. I think for most people this isn't needed (I don't even own a proper truing stand, just spinning my wheels while mounted somewhere), but for those building wheels daily (manufacturers, specialty shops) it can be a nice addition. What I like about is that it doesn't replace the knowledge or process. Just enhances it. So one can do as before, but probably faster thanks to the additional info.
