Works for me. :) FYI, a $40 3D printer controller would provide all the
brains needed. They can grok standard M and G codes and easily support
four axes of motion. The firmware and hardware design is open source too.

The X/Y table is probably the simplest part of
the build - every part of
it is a solved problem, from the motion gantry to the controller.? It
could be driven by an Arduino Uno and a pair of Pololu Stepper Drivers
connected to a pair of 1.8 degree NEMA17 steppers.? The gantry could be
made from 3D printed carriages equipped with 608 skate bearings riding
atop rails made from 1/2" EMT conduit.
The camera system is WAY outside my wheelhouse, but I'd be happy to work
with someone to get an X/Y gantry built.? I've got plenty of idle 3D
printers and tons of unused skate bearings. :)
If you're serious about it, we probably should talk in the future.
At the moment, I'm moving my household, so not to much time to play,
but the x/y gantry I have no clue about, the camera part I'm a little
better ;-)
