While this is cool, I think we should seriously take a look at how insects navigate 3d spaces. They typically have compound eyes, where each eye-let incredibly simplified (in fact, early-stage evolution) photoreceptor that has independent connections in the brain. They have crappy resolution but incredibly good response time and spatial awareness. And they are super low power.
