A small nity-picky: From academic point of view if I was a reviewer I would point out that the Potree project is prior art in rendering points in browser, considering Octree based spatial distribution of points for rendering of arbitrarily large data sets.
Potree is designed mainly for pointclouds of terran objects while this is obvioulsy intended for astronomic datasets so the domain is a bit different.
