Any way to display data from sensors in another way without programming?

I know you said "without programming" but I would suggest having a look at Processing as it is very similar to use as the Arduino IDE and you can do some really clever stuff with it surprisingly easily.

I have put a Processing sketch below for you to have a play with, it receives RGB data as three integers and changes the displayed colour based on it.

        STARTING POINT SKETCH 

        Detect which serial port the arduino is on then         
        receives list of integers on serial port (comma separated)
        Arduino code example:
                                  void setup() {
                                    Serial.begin(115200);
                                  } 
                                  
                                  void loop() {
                                      Serial.print(random(255), DEC);
                                      Serial.print(",");
                                      Serial.print(random(255), DEC);
                                      Serial.print(",");
                                      Serial.println(random(255), DEC);
                                    delay(1000);
                                  }
