Could you build this?
No The project involves physical hardware modifications, optical lenses/prisms, and physical hinge sensors to manipulate desktop projections across a laptop hinge.
What it would actually take: Building this requires mechanical and optical hardware engineering to design reflective optics and mounts, combined with custom embedded electronics (e.g., Hall effect or optical angle sensors) to monitor the hinge state. On the software side, it requires low-level macOS drivers or virtual display agents (using IOKit and CoreGraphics) to dynamically warp and partition the framebuffer across physical optics.
