The technology itself is nothing earthshaking - PolyTrans, Vizup etc. have been around for a long time. I'm more interested in their emphasis on gaming. One might suspect that Daz has a vision on where they're going with 3D that goes far beyond the Poser/DS type of application. I'm sure the Gizmodo thing probably wasn't just a whim. In their view of the future, Poser may simply be irrelevant. At any rate, the markets for the two products seem to remain pretty separate. I'm not sure that making something like this available for Poser would necessarily be a financial negative for them. On the contrary, they might make some money from people who were never going to buy DS anyway. Of course whether they see it that way is another matter.
