While the idea is cool, you have to think about how big that's going to be for just one instance of it, and then multiply it by a few hundred. Not the mention all of the people reciving the feed (still image).

I don't care how broad your broad-band is, that's gonna choke the servers - even with the highest compression gif format you could find (which would degrade the images to the point of being useless).

I know it looks like the Forgelight engine can do wonders, but let's not expect the world.

Not how it would work braj, all theyd have to do is call client-side models etc with a few bits of data that are just precise enough for tactical consideration
