Could you build this?

Partial A basic UI with video uploads or off-the-shelf pose estimation is easy to prompt, but real-time kinematic analysis of a basketball shooting motion and accurate rep-by-rep biomechanical evaluation requires domain-specific computer vision modeling.

What it would actually take: Building a real shooting coach requires high-framerate pose estimation models (e.g., custom fine-tuned MediaPipe or YOLO-pose models) optimized to run on-device via CoreML or TensorFlow Lite. The hard engineering problems include tracking rapid wrist releases and ball trajectories, synchronizing multi-joint kinematic angle calculations under diverse lighting and camera angles, and consulting biomechanics experts to establish valid heuristic comparisons against professional form.
