Sounds like a cool idea. If they want to take this to the next level,
they will need to use something other than Bluetooth. That technology
is ill-suited for this application for a variety of reasons - low data
rates and susceptibility to interference are the two important ones.

Weight, yes. Power, I am not sure. You still need to power the
wireless components.

A pretty neat idea, though.
