Strikingly similar to the low-discrepancy sequences used as sampling patterns in modern ray tracers - and quite a similar role, really:

I don’t think low-discrepancy sequences have quite the same kind of structure as these “hyperuniform” distributions. There don’t seem to be any papers which explicitly compare them though, https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=hyperuniformity+halton

I think some of the sequences are similar. The particular wikipedia entry of Low-discrepancy sequence [0] mentions Poisson disc.
