I'm not sure how useful the overlay data is for live analysis but I'm glad it's overlaid on the video as a record of state. For instance the latitude and longitude are of no use to anyone who knows what this is a video of, but it stops video being misrepresented as of another location.

Style wise, I think it might actually be beneficial to emulate sci-fi films to an extent. It depends on the film of course, but the designers of those user interfaces are actual designers with a cohesive idea of what they want to represent. The alternative can often be a programmer who has to conjure the opinions of a committee into a user interface without the input of a design specialist.
