most impressive thing for me about this demo is how good the shape detection is (seems way better than magnetic lasso in Photoshop), and how they brought different pieces of separate technologies together to such a fluid experience. And how the presenter sounds about 12.

These guys/girls know what they're doing.

> seems way better than magnetic lasso in Photoshop

Indeed, and it's very impressive work.

It makes sense that this is the case, because this system is doing edge detection with fairly strict constraints: the edges must match the outline of a fairly simple shape which you roughly know the size and orientation of. That seems like it's inherently going to yield better results than completely-unconstrained edge-detection as in photoshop....
