Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and basic key listeners are straightforward, generating a low-latency virtual camera driver across OS platforms requires native media and driver-level knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native desktop wrapper (e.g., Electron with native C++ node-addons or Rust/tauri) interfacing with system video loopback drivers (like OBS Virtual Cam, DirectShow filter on Windows, or CoreMediaIO DAL plugin on macOS). The hard parts are OS-level virtual camera integration, frame synchronization, and zero-latency video buffer switching when alternating between live capture and loop playback.
