Basically, I'd like to suggest using this at work on a future project, or something similar, but I'm wondering if this is too costly on PS3/360?
And just wondering to make sure I understand; they basically use an alpha hexagonal texture mapped to triangles that are covering the screen (like a plane subdivided into many triangles), and the rendered images are projected onto the proper triangles, (and then everything is added to an accumulation buffer to get the blurred results)?
I'm just fuzzy on how those triangles are laid out, and how the multiple viewport rendering results are applied to them (it sorts which triangle correspond to which depth?).
Thanks for the time! This was quite an interesting article!

It might be slightly off topic, but why would depth of field be too much for consoles, at least Uncharted 2 has demonstrated such an effect.
