I certainly like the idea if you can assemble the talent
to produce them then that is great.

I have been thinking about the potential of generating
2 windows for the my display. The top to hold the room
picture and a grid for things in it, and the bottom one
as a scrolling text box for everything else. The best thing
about this idea would be the ability to give some positional
information about things around the player.

Room Picture





Bottom of Room Picture

Smith
                                          male
                          Darque
female
          George    object


end of example...

The idea is that within the very large room there is a
sub-grid based on meters, so 1,000 x 1,000. Players would
be able to see most of the distance but would only get
actual names for things within say 200 meters or so. Beyond
that range a more generic male/female/object would be 
shown as in the above display. Since more than one person
could be in a single spot (although with so many positions
it would not have to happen that often) but in that case
perhaps the first three letters could be stacked (Smi Geo).
