Exactly what I was just thinking.

Yeah it's a neat idea, but impractical.
It kind of reminds me of those Muppet figure sets someone put out some years ago that would hook up to the computer, and depending on where you put the figure on the set it would interact with little games and animations on screen. This strikes me as being just as successful.
