Could you build this?
Partial Creating a GNOME desktop extension is accessible, but computer-vision or radar-based angle calculation from raw webcam feeds introduces complex signal processing challenges.
What it would actually take: The stack comprises a GNOME Shell extension written in GJS (JavaScript) communicating via DBus with a background daemon written in Python or Rust. The daemon uses OpenCV or MediaPipe to process webcam video feeds (or millimeter-wave radar USB inputs), estimating the hinge angle by tracking the user's face position relative to screen perspective distortion or optical flow. Real-time, low-power computer vision and Linux hardware abstraction require specialized CV engineering.
