Could you build this?
Partial Interfacing with private Apple Silicon lid angle sensor IOKit hardware endpoints and synchronizing desktop capture with Metal 3D deformation shaders requires low-level macOS system programming.
What it would actually take: Requires Swift and Metal, utilizing ScreenCaptureKit for zero-latency screen capture and private IOKit/HID APIs to read the hardware lid angle sensor (present on M-series MacBooks). The graphics pipeline involves custom Metal compute and vertex/fragment shaders executing 3D folding, curling, and blur effects while managing thermal and refresh rate limits.
