But how do you cover it

[Venod]

I can see clading this would be fun.

4 separate sections per door, simples.
Plus draughtproofing along the joins...

Next challenge would be the automatic opening mechanism, I am too lazy to get off my bike and open the door manually.

 

[Yellow Saddle]

I like.

It's a nifty design, but what advantage does it have over a sliding door?

None. It's all about cool factor and someone's construction skills.
Actually, sliding doors sometimes run over toes and small pets.

And there are absolutely no finger trapping opportunities with the one in the video of course!

That should teach them not to fiddle with fancy doors.

Once it's fully clad, I'd like to see how the hinges on the tips of the corners stand up to a strong wind.

Very clever..
As to a useable garage door.
Ok as long as you don't keep anything valuable behind it.

Very difficult to secure with the design I'd think.

 

[Drago]

The frame is a pretty crummy fit in the wall.

 

[Spinney]

It also looks like it has to be completely open or completely shut - no leaving the door half open.

Clever idea, but too many moving parts making it hopelessly impractical
