Could you build this?
No Building adaptive native glass with dynamic refraction, highlights, and live frame-rate throttling requires specialized GPU shader programming and low-level native mobile graphics pipelines.
What it would actually take: This library requires custom native modules built with the Expo Modules API, writing platform-specific shaders (Metal on iOS, OpenGL/Vulkan/RenderEffect on Android), and continuous frame-time telemetry via CADisplayLink and Choreographer. The engine must dynamically downscale blur passes, refraction texture lookups, and specular highlight shaders in real time to prevent frame drops across varying mobile hardware.
