Thanks for letting me know! It's referenced as a raycaster in several places, and of course the output looks very much like a raycaster's, so I checked up on this.

After a little reading, it sounds like DN3D uses a cousin of a raycaster, as it's still rendering independent columns. Instead of casting rays to find them, it's projecting their vertices. Neat!
