Never even heard of it. Sounds like a really cool idea though.

Shouldn't be too difficult. All you need is a solenoid that has the same throw as the key and enough power to pull the latch.
The same thing power door locks use.
What would you use to operate the solenoid. It would be great to rig up something, like a keyless entry from a car with a fob. 
Or a button wired to 12v. switched.

i'm thinking about putting it on a remote or a hidden button.
solenoid and a car opener kit would do the trick just need something to pull the cable that's remote controlled they usually run around 40 or 50 bucks for the kit.
probably a small actuator would do the trick to open and close it like that
Then again humping on the floor sometimes is fun
Kitt ejection seat 
you can use a magnetic reed switch(its what security companies put on doors and windows) you can hide the reed and use a small rare earth magnet on your keychain ..wave magnet over the right spot and it will pop
this is how we used to do show cars with shaved door handles, the trigger for the popper was in the window
about 3-4 $
