Could you build this?

Partial While wrapping an existing depth estimation model (like Depth Anything) via API is easy, building an interactive, embeddable in-browser 3D scene from a single 2D image requires specialized WebGL/Three.js shader programming and mesh displacement optimization.

What it would actually take: The system combines a server-side monocular depth estimation pipeline (e.g., Depth Anything / ZoeDepth PyTorch models on GPU instances) with a lightweight WebGL/Three.js client that generates a displaced 3D mesh with parallax shaders and inpainting to avoid edge tearing. The hard part is client-side rendering optimization, boundary inpainting, and smooth gyroscopic/mouse parallax. It requires 3D graphics (WebGL/GLSL) and ML inference engineering expertise.
