Is "Spatial Understanding" Real?

Someone has posted a YouTube video that seems to demonstrate a rather impressive new HoloLens capability he's calling "Spatial Understanding". The video says this ability is available in the toolkit as of 8/25, but I haven't been able to find it. Not even in older commits. Is this a hoax? Does it exist?
Here's the video:

You can fetch the PR 187 into a new branch locally. Using git fetch commands but that is a little complicated. I would say cloning the entire repository locally for now is your best bet. Will keep looking for a better answer.
https://github.com/jevertt/HoloToolkit-Unity You can directly clone this link for now and play with it.

It is real.
It is waiting to be integrated into the master branch.
The pull request is here. Someone smart with Git can share with us how we can clone and integrate these commits.

BTW, the YouTube host says that this is 'like' Fragments and Conker. It's not just 'like' Fragments and Conker, but a port of the actual code used in Fragments and Conker. I am very grateful to Asobo studios for creating this library and I'm glad that we can share it with everyone. As a community I foresee some time being spent getting the data exposed on the proper side of the Unity/Not-Unity edges. For example, the confidence of the cell isn't available on the Unity side, so color coding of the cells as the user scans likely isn't easily achieved.
Do note that none of us are experts in this code base. We will be learning together on this one.
