Visualizing data in Second Life ("living barcharts!")

In a rare convergence between my day job (survey software technology) and some of my on-the-side experiments (bbc backstage developer community), I've been creating some 3d objects that grow or shrink automatically, depending on some external data. See my post here for more info.

Methinks this could have some use in MR and data analysis/ visualisation. Maybe what I'll do is create some of these "living barcharts" next to my survey object, so you can see the aggregated responses to the survey as growing/shrinking 3d objects standing next to you..
