This is a fun project. It aligns with one of the truisms that I find overlooked by many which is that there is a lot of currently useful information available on the network that isn't visible.
I have always thought it would be fun to build something like this but send it package tracking numbers and have the hands indicate where the packages I had sent or had been shipped to me were in the system. Just with a glance up at the wall!

At a glance you can tell if they are close to home, in town, or across the country. Using a logarithmic scale to give more resolution for points closer to home. Depending on where your hand is in the "Home" sector indicates what part of the house you're in. This provides location information on people, without feeling like a violation of their privacy.
