Could you build this?
No It involves reverse-engineering legacy proprietary NVIDIA USB hardware communication, writing low-level Windows drivers or USB protocols, and managing microsecond stereo shutter sync.
What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse-engineering the proprietary USB packets sent to the NVIDIA IR emitter hardware using USB analyzers (like Wireshark/USBPcap). Developers must implement a custom user-space driver or WinUSB layer in C/C++ to control the emitter and synchronize shutter timing with display refresh rates (Direct3D/OpenGL swapchain synchronization). This requires deep domain knowledge in graphics pipelines, low-level hardware protocols, and Windows driver architecture.
