... plotting lighting cues in a theatre ... it is very common to be the
designer and have someone else operating the desk, then keeping large sets
of channel numbers and existing states in your head makes it a lot quicker
and easier to communicate as you walk around the space. Casual observers
find this dialogue very strange. Interestingly operating audio you often
look down at the desk, operating lights the effect is visual and not
looking at the desk is important.
Understood, but I'm not sure of the relevance of this observation/behaviour
to a situation where the lights themselves function as a "visual
memory/display" of the current state.
