Depth of feild robotic arm

I dont think I have the means of doing this, but I think its possible with any range finder (in array).
Make a 2 cubed ft box frame, have·5 range finders, top, bottom, left, right, back wall.
Poll these finders every X seconds, if an object is inserted into this box, all the range finders will register how far the object is away from it, in return have a robotic arm reflect these motions by mimicing the movement of the object in the matrix.
That would be so interesting to see working.·
Is it possible?
Another way would be to make a "glove" that has range finders attached to it on all surfaces, but poll and reflect motion in the same manner.
If you wanted to save time an dnot use a robotic arm, you could just do calculations to register X and Y of the object, and using some third party infterface (VB, PC) reflect the X and Y in some way on a computer.
.. just brain storming.
