So far there isn't enough data to tell if it's a scam, not as revolutionary as they claim or just severely handicapped in some other area (memory requirements for point-cloud-data being the primary suspect). There are always trade-offs when it comes to computer graphics. Admittedly they've shown some impressive real-time demos but that is easy when you're re-using the same five models ad-nauseum.

Not real, it's obvious.

Also, how do you change avatars? This is bugging me...

This is just in its infancy. I think it is very real and legitimate. Just give this "cyber atom" technology 10 more years of development and it will make the polygon a thing of the past, just like those television sets that had antennae on them or the ones that had channels 1.5 and 2.4 (really, my television set 20 years ago had a dial knob that had decimal place channels to turn to)
