The process (at first glance, I admit) looks pretty doable, the position
cursor things are all analogue electronics according to the video, with a
computer interpreting the resonating frequencies of the coils to figure out
the positions (ok, I don't know how to do that :)) then driving the graphics.
The most expensive thing is probably the video projector.
The app they've come up with to show it off is amazing though. I think there
will be a commercial product very soon!
