Could you build this?

Partial Achieving sub-20ms audio latency alongside precise real-time motion gesture classification across varying smartphone IMUs requires specialized audio and DSP engineering.

What it would actually take: The app requires low-latency native audio engines (such as Oboe on Android or CoreAudio on iOS) combined with sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman filtering or specialized peak-detection heuristics) on IMU data to detect stroke impact vectors accurately without false triggers. A solo builder can easily vibe-code an accelerometer listener, but getting sub-20ms responsiveness and reliable strike classification requires embedded audio/DSP systems expertise.
