This is sometimes known as a multi-resolution display. There are a number of products and research projects out there already.
I personally have seen this done twice, it's a smart thing to do with maps and other large image sets. An example I've tried was an LCD monitor in the middle of a projection screen (rear projection), this was in ~2005 I believe.

You can see a multires table display about halfway down.
Hi Graham, the example in particular that you've chosen is from NTU as well and most likely the same project.
