It looks like some info has begun to trickle out about Bret Victor (et al)’s current lab iteration, Dynamicland (website). For those unfamiliar with it, Dynamicland (from what I know of it, at least) is a computing environment at room / space scale. The room is the computer, and as much as possible, computing happens with physical objects. This enables you to interact with your whole body, to see systems by picking them up, and to share computing space with multiple people (compare this to traditional computing with a mouse and keyboard, with 1 person per computer and minimal sharing).
For starters, there’s a newly active twitter account showing off things, and it looks like there was some sort of jam / expo that happened last weekend, cool! Some neat threads which seemed to showcase it well:

I also stumbled across this blog post which discusses some of the ideas behind it.
I got a chance to see the lab 2 years ago when this stuff was in very early stages, but has anybody from this forum visited it recently? I’d love to hear / discuss more!
