Agreed, the devil in this design will be the camera. From the video it looks like they're using two. My guess will be one high resolution to produce reasonable pictures and live video (as they show) and a lower resolution companion to triangulate from. I'd also guess that the companion sensor will be placed further away from the main sensor in the final project.

Who knows, they could have a secondary sensor that you place on the side of the TV, away from the main sensor module. Distance between sensors is usually the key to reduce processing requirements.

It's their project vision, so who knows what they'll have to do to get the job done.
