Sounds definitely very interesting.
I'd suggest you and your students draw up a detailed description of what
you *want* to do (assuming feasibility where you're not sure), post it
here and I'll be happy to tell you what I think will be possible and
what won't, as well as how I'd suggest you should go about implementing it.

Talking about a concrete concept is usually easier than discussing an
abstract idea.

Best regards,
