Afterthought: Checked out Kinfu, looks to do something quite similar. I am somewhat concerned about the resolution currently offered though. I'll see if there is a way to scale it down to simpler objects for easier atomspace digging and verification. Otherwise I do understand the draw of Kinfu. Perhaps a hybrid-type system would be ideal. Off to do more research...
