Could you build this?
Partial Standard ARKit plane detection can be vibe coded, but tracking an arbitrary moving vacuum head in real-time while painting dynamic 3D surface meshes and computing exact floor coverage area requires non-trivial computer vision and spatial mapping.
What it would actually take: The app requires iOS native Swift using ARKit and RealityKit/Metal for custom mesh rendering. It needs an object-tracking model or visual odometry pipeline to identify and track the vacuum head's nozzle position relative to the detected horizontal plane in varying lighting conditions. The technical challenge is accurately projecting painted planar textures onto the floor without significant spatial drift or performance lag on device thermal limits.
