Replying to The Touch Patch

Ok everybody get ready to hear about my greatest idea yet. So basically the idea of the touch patch is to be a simple 2 x 2 square piece of moldable gel. You take the patch, and plant it firmly on any given surface. Ex. Wood, Metal, even textured surfaces such as bark, or sand. The patch would copy and shift into the exact texture and feel of the object. I'm not sure if this would work in our particular dimension, but it'd worth a shot.
