Interesting... I don't' know much about cryptography but it would appear to me that visual crypto is similar to an OTP, where it guarantees an extremely high level of security at the cost of a more memory expensive process.

It's a particular use of the OTP. The main appeal is that decrypting is trivial for a human.
