Thanks for the explanation. Honestly, your explanation is better than the entire video. - I watched it in full and got really confused. I completely missed the part where he said the light is pulsing at 30kHZ and was really puzzled at how he is able to move the mirror so fast to cover the entire scene.
Huh. I watched a lot, but not all, of the video, and I thought he made it clear early on that he was stitching together 1px videos & repeating the event for each pixel (about a million times for that 720p result)
