Could a game like From Dust work with SteamVR and Vive?

For people who don't know, From Dust is a physics sandbox game, where you are in control of the elements. Check out this gameplay video to get the basic idea: http://ift.tt/1xl6z3P

Now i was thinking, wouldn't this be an awesome experience in VR? It kind of hits all the markers:

• It has little people (we know Gabe loves them).


• You can have the whole map layed out in your walkable room area, no need for any presence destroying transitions.


• You can grab sand or water or lava with your SteamVR controller, walk around and dump it on the other side of the room. It would even work better than a mouse or gamepad.


• You would (virtually) literally feel like god. Which is a good thing!


• It's simple and easy, everybody understands the basic concept of playing with sand, because everyone did it before as a kid. It could be a great demo for VR novices.

Any thoughts?
