Wouldn't that be a macroscope?
Heinsenberg principle : once you made one measure, the measured target may not be there anymore.
It's not even really uncertain, after a tennisball to the face, they'll definitely move
I want to see someone build this so badly.
This guy did something in the same vein but tried to make a musical instrument instead: https://youtu.be/yFIxf2gTg_k
Based on the positions of the "bonk"s and "ow"s, I posit that the target is a sentient floating torus.
