Electromagnetic Actuation With Fiber Optical Tracking – Wow

These things are awesome imagine the possibilities for air hockey 3.0 🙂  Or maybe for a type of interactive learning coffee table at home.

One of the commenters feels it has potential but in more futuristic versions:

 It’s a very interesting design overall but highly impractical for normal use, i can see the inductive charging being use but thats not what he is showing off. I love the idea for the tangible widgets but like utgfilms says below “you can have virtual ones”. However it is a very good idea, it just needs a more useful application.

What would you use something like this for? Possibly a gaming console of some type or maybe a miniature version or battle bots at home haha.  Or a giant 3d version of etch-a-sketch if you remember those pre-internet toys.  Would you buy one of these things if they were made into a reasonable and more complex version that you could fit in the garage?  What would you pay?
