This is the type of thing where I could see VR coming into play.
if you could see the room, and your coworkers, and could talk to them while making adjustments to the controls.
sort of the way the star trek VR bridge was supposed to work, but this would be a lot more complicated, especially if it were designed off the original specs of the machinery.
someone in another thread was joking about needing a 1,500 page manual to hang off the side of an arcade version of lunar lander that had the apollo controls.
same thing here! you'd need training just to play it!
my kind of game...
