Orb scan by phone sent by TV is possible?

There's a VR object topic in the movie "Tomb Raiders - Cradle of Life". In Lara's hand is a round object called an "orb". With a tiny video device (cell phone? PDA?) and a home digital TV satellite dish she makes a few connections and sends pictures of the orb to her techie's computer in a helicopter. He is able to read the writing on the surface of the orb.

Question is how much of this is science fiction and how much is actually possible with today's technology? Who comes up with these ideas?
