Could you build this?
Partial Reading undocumented Apple Silicon lid angle sensor values via IOKit/private Apple APIs and driving real-time progressive blur shaders requires reverse engineering macOS hardware interfaces.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C interacting with IOHIDFamily / AppleSMC / IOKit private frameworks to query the MacBook lid angle sensor in real-time. It then couples these readings with CoreAnimation or Metal shader pipelines to render progressive blurs on desktop window layers.
