Remember when you could listen to your hard drive and know if things were working right or not? At InfoVis 98 someone mentioned a large 'War Room' setup that switched over from flip boards to electronic displays and suffered because the experienced folks would derive a situational awareness based on the flipping sounds. MS Research has included a bit of this in their Data Mountain demonstration application. Maarten van Dantzich wrote about this in "Visualization is a State of Mind", NPIV'97 (and acknowledged advocacy by David Theil).
