Bret Victor is a real visionary in the field, and everyone should check out his website worrydream.com, for his interesting presentations on interactive programming.
Saying that, I can't see how this dynamicland is going to work practically. The requirement first for a shared physical space, in the age of remote working. Secondly the need for programs to fit on a table, which his simple examples even seem to barely do. In a meeting you'd have to be constantly arranging things on the table, putting things away as you move on to the next example, remembering how to arrange the next deck etc.. personally if I do a presentation, I want all the slides on the cloud in case of any issues, not to be carrying round a set of cards in a binder..
I would think the more likely next step in combatting complexity, would be personalised AIs. These would understand the context of the presentation being given, and therefore can provide us remote audience members with explanations and visualisations on demand, that would suit our level of understanding of the problem.

Despite the title saying "summary" and the date, this is a complete (and new) video
