It feels like you might get pretty far with commodity hardware, like microcomputers, sensors, electronic parts and so on. The software side sounds like years of work though. I can picture it as a long-term passion project, growing a personal computing ecosystem..
Your description sparked some imagination for my own take on the vision, involving MIDI keyboards and instruments with knobs, dials, touch screen; and a projector that turns a whole wall into a computing interface. Some microphones and cameras as input devices, parsing hand and body gestures..
