Could you build this?
Partial Building an Android/iOS floating overlay camera with low-latency, on-device object detection requires platform-specific native permissions and embedded computer vision models.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Android/iOS development (specifically Android system alert window / picture-in-picture permissions and native camera hardware access). It requires integrating an on-device computer vision model (e.g., TensorFlow Lite or CoreML running a lightweight YOLO or monocular depth estimation network) running at 30fps without overheating the phone or draining the battery.
