I guess my point is that what Dynamic Land is doing is not compelling, so there will never be a perfect analog to compare it to, unless you compare it to another initiative that is also not compelling. Maybe Dynamic Land makes a cool demo, but the approach isn't capable of producing anything generally interesting. As far as I can tell, there have not been any updates on the initiative since 2019, so it looks like Dynamic Land might be dead. What I find interesting about Tilt Five is that they bring computation into the physical space. It might not be tactile, but it's at least usable for something. Another comparison to Dynamic Land is that Dynamic Land tries to create computation in one shared environment. Tilt Five, on the other hand, allows two people in separate physical environments to share a digital environment. These are just two examples of how a digital-first approach is more compelling than Dynamic Land's analog-first approach.

My gut feeling is that Dynamicland is likely something that has to be experienced to be understood. I saw Bret Victor present on Dynamicland at a design conference, and there are tons of little happy and unexpected accidents that come from people using it and experiencing it. It's stuff that you can't throw into bullet points.
