HOW TO:
(The 'how to' is in the first comment under the video.

Some Applications:
1- Indicate events & objects without having the player interact with them.
2- Display hints, and guides.
3- Display these active messages in crowded areas to inform the player what topics are trending, or for world building.
4- Have the player obtain information by 'overhearing' things, instead of having to interact with people. (As interacting with random strangers, does sometimes bring narrative issues.)
5- Using icons & message, you can express better what a particular event is doing, instead of having to animate it.
6- Use this to inform the player what a particular event was doing or thinking, before & after your interaction with them. (Like before your interacted with a guard, they were thinking about how low-paying their job is. And after your interaction, they start thinking how the protagonist is acting suspicious.)

(What other applications do you have in mind? Please, do share!)
