Would you buy this?

Hello everyone!

First some background, I'm currently studying software engineering and this school period we've been assigned to make an innovative project. I'm in a group with some friends and we all enjoy playing Pathfinder and play regularly. So we figured it would be cool to make something for our hobby. Since we're pretty much making something that should be sell-able we're also supposed to do market research, so here I am -- asking you people if you'd be interested in what we've got in our minds.

So here's the idea: we want to make a small(ish) box that has slots on the side so players can input an NFC card in (credit card sized) which holds their character info. On the top we'll have a medium-sized display that will be used to show battlemaps or whatever the DM wants to show, along with LEDs that will light up above the inserted player's card to signify who's turn in combat it is. This LED will be press-able and used to end ones turn to pass it on to the next player.
The plan is for players to be able to take this NFC card home and edit/create their characters there and then take them with them to a gamestore or a friend's house and just "jump into" a game where all they would have to do is insert their card into the box.

Now, our question is: would any of you be interested in such a product? And if it's not too much trouble, why or why not?

Thanks for taking the time out of your days to answer our questions!

Why?

No, that's not meant to be snarky. Please explain how this is a thing that is useful. I am failing to see it utility.

I'm not seeing the purpose of inserting a card in to a box. How are the players supposed to use their character info on the cards while playing?
I mean, ok, I have my character info on this card. I take it to a game and plug it in. Then what? How do I see my stats? How do I edit my equipment?

Could you describe how exactly a game is supposed to be run using this system?

Probably would not purchase.

When I think about character portability I think of....a piece of paper with my character on it.

Barring that - probably a Hero Lab file...(in other words, it's been done).
