Nice heard this.. I'm currentrly working on virtual lab to perform this,
but focusing the 3d part of the business.. As I said to Jeff and Chetan, we
could merge the ideas in order to we have a single and powerful tool for
nupic.

Jeff, Chetan, and Matt, what I can say up to now is that the GUI part of
the project is feasible and I already am testing it.. As soon a I have a
prototype with minimum usability, I inform you..
