Could you build this?
Partial Creating high-framerate, ultra-low-latency 1080p/60fps video and input streaming over local Wi-Fi between two Android devices requires low-level hardware-accelerated video codecs and networking.
What it would actually take: Requires native Android development (C++/NDK) leveraging MediaCodec for hardware H.264/HEVC encoding and decoding, coupled with low-latency networking protocols (UDP/WebRTC or RTSP). Achieving smooth VR stereo rendering and sub-20ms motion-to-photon latency requires deep mobile graphics and wireless systems knowledge.
