This is basically DisplayLink, which has always worked on M1 macs (and any other device with a usb host) to add displays. It is a USB device that your computer streams compressed image data to, rendered by your existing gpu to an offscreen buffer. It uses a LOT of CPU and power. But this is not new. DisplayLink has been around for forever.
