You'd define a soft falloff at the edge of each local probe region for blending, and results aren't based on the camera position.
I like this. For now I already decided on a single global envmap as I can't stand the sight of the whole scene lighting blending from one envmap to another. Doing local probes with the parallax turned off seems like a very easy solution.
Also the real time lightmap baking tech sounds insane but in a very cool way.

Global ones should capture mostly sky and generic features, and be used very sparsely (few per entire level). This way it's enough to blend just two of those to have perfect transitions and far away reflections will look fine. I actually used this system for Shadow Warrior 2, just with a small twist - probes were generated and cached in real-time. If you are interested you can check out some slides with notes: “Rendering of Shadow Warrior 2”.
I just watched your presentation on YouTube, very good stuff! And I have that game though never tried it, now I will for sure.
So your global probes were not part of your "prefabs" (I mean level pieces)? And did you blend between two globals based on world space position of the pixel?
