The idea is based on Arizona State University's Decision Theater http://www.decisiontheater.org/index.php?cat=1 , a facility that uses wall-size video screens, and moving charts and maps, to enable policymakers and business leaders to "see," in three-dimensional detail, the outcomes of decisions they might make about various issues, from urban growth and transportation to education and health.
