Could you build this?
Partial While UI and basic WebGL/Three.js models can be implemented with AI assistance, real-time phoneme-to-viseme lip-syncing and procedural 3D gestures responsive to streaming audio require specialized 3D graphics and audio pipeline engineering.
What it would actually take: The frontend would typically run Three.js or Babylon.js rendering a rigged 3D avatar with blend shapes. The hard part is real-time client-side synchronization between audio streaming (via Web Audio API or Kokoro ONNX in WebAssembly) and phoneme-driven facial blendshapes (visemes), plus procedural skeletal animation for body gestures without animation artifacts, requiring graphics programming and 3D character animation expertise.
