Bret Victor is a programmer and programming communicator (because he makes really good videos and articles) who has, for a number of years, been working on a project involving programming using physical objects and image recognition. It's called DynamicLand. The latest demo video is linked throughout this thread. This appears to be a fairly standard progress update, but it being a photograph of paper on a table is very much in keeping with the idea of DynamicLand, which I guess is why it's been posted.
