I don't have that much to say about this...
By displaying information regarding a single 'thing' across several
windows (specially as above) would require the player to process the
information and spent some time as a detective. Piecing things from
different parts of the spectrum to get the big picture.
This seems silly coz a computer should do this all for you. So perhaps a
layering system where you can switch off layers. If any of the other
senses is very strong, it can spill over.
I suppose this can be followed back to trying to figure out what the user
wants to know.
