To make a video for "House Of Cards", single from the masterpiece "In Rainbows", the British band has provided a significant contribution to scientific research in the techniques of representation of reality . Everything in the video, from the outside to close-ups, but not reproduced "scanned" by a laser system that detects objects near and translates them into 3D vector data. This technique allows to treat the subject viewed as a function, a behavior that can be reproduced and applied to other forms, other subjects. And here the expression Thom Yorke sings magically overlaps with other faces, other figures who assume the attitudes and facial expressions. The miracle occurs through two systems:
Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR
, one designed for measurements in the vicinity, the other for the exterior and pans, for a total of 64 lasers rotating and shooting in 360 degrees 900 times per minute.

Radiohead are not new to this type of experiments, Having recently made a home video auto-resume with a helmet-camera (Jigsaw Falling Into Place) , and the rest of the history of rock is littered with artistic tributes to the high-tech testing, from Pink Floyd on.
