I agree with Bret Victor here. I already have something similar of what he is proposing. Not so great, but my prototype is real and works. You can make one of this using "inexpensive" TVs for most of the room. Cheap cameras with HDMI and framegrabbers, a PC with CUDA-OpenCL cards. Arduino sensors work anywhere with all OSes and super easy to use, albeit not very efficient. My experience with years of embedded programming is that NO HUMAN BEING is made for working with the cold, brainless machine or metal if you don't visualize your data. Even the person who tells you she likes doing it, she can't work on it for long periods of time without burning. It is like climbing over 7.000meters of altitude. Humans could survive for some time with those conditions, but depleting internal resources fast.
