This is totally possible using this quite interesting futuristic real-time 3D rendering of 3D charachters interacting with pre-defined objects filmed with a High Definition camera. (would require some transparent High Definition video glasses to actually see the virtual charachters interact with the real world other than being able to see them on your HDTV.)
