Could you build this?
Partial While the audio-mixing and interface logic can be vibe-coded, interfacing with real-time biological tracking of an actual fly or high-framerate computer vision motion tracking requires specialized physical setup and CV pipelines.
What it would actually take: The project requires a camera feed tracked with OpenCV or YOLO to detect and track fly coordinates at low latency. Those coordinates map onto MIDI/OSC signals to trigger and manipulate audio channels in an engine like Web Audio API or SuperCollider. The challenging aspects are robust real-time micro-object tracking under variable lighting and noisy physical environments.
