   I was honestly expecting this to be an article about grayscale versus dithered black and white, where the answer to "do grayscale images take less space" could go either way. Instead, it's an article about grayscale versus s

   I like how the robot head motion is linked to the operator's head motion, such that the robot is able to nod its head near 2:15. I also like the feedback control near 0:35.

    This looks very nice, but a 2D visualization might have been more practical. For example, the fact that the dot size represents the total number of dependents is obscured by the fact that the dot sizes are also a function of camera distanc

    Unfortunately, if the browser window were not at the right size, some of those dithered images will be scaled with visible moiré patterns. If they wanted a dithered look that works at different resolutions, it might have been better to ser
