Could you build this?
No This is a physical materials science product involving proprietary photoluminescent coatings for outdoor pathways, not software.
What it would actually take: Creating this requires chemical engineering and materials science expertise to synthesize long-persistence phosphorescent pigments (like strontium aluminate formulations) embedded into weather-resistant, UV-stable binders. Physical manufacturing, outdoor durability testing, and regulatory certifications for slip resistance and environmental safety are required. Software cannot substitute for physical chemistry and industrial fabrication.
