Projected goban

It would be relatively easy to make an application that records video of a game and creates an sgf that contains every move.
The application could then project the current state of the goban with a mini projector.
This would allow the players to play with a single stone each: You put your stone, the app sees it and reprojects it on the table. For your next move, you can just take your stone back and play it somewhere else. The app would know which stones have been killed and would stop projecting them.
It could all be done with a smartphone and a mini-projector. Allowing to play in a full sized goban wherever there's a table or wall.
It would also make it easier to review a game after it's been played.
