This is cool. Nice renderings! Great concept.
There's a bunch of screen-reader software out there out there for the accessibility market that's pretty good at webpages, if you just want a canned server-side solution. Have you thought about incorporating server-side speech recognition? You could have some big fun with that.
Nixie tubes are a pain. I think I've seen convincing LED simulated Nixies somewhere, but I don't remember where.
You might consider moving more of the function to the server side, if it doesn't disturb your artistic vision. As it is, it seems like you've set yourself a fairly challenging electronics project.
You're right that I should check out the accessibility software... though if I went that route I'd have to drop using a microcontroller and switch having a laptop inside (which I'm reluctant to do).
I would like to check out, though, how the professional accessibility software handle describing links that are graphic. It's easy when the web-developer put in the "alt" text, but when that's not available I'm torn between simply reading the name of the html file or reading the name of the graphic file. Perhaps the best choice would read whichever is shorter? Dunno.
