Could you build this?

No This is hardware involving custom micro-OLED displays, custom optics, thermal management, eye/hand tracking sensors, and embedded OS firmware.

What it would actually take: Developing 100g 5K VR glasses requires specialized hardware engineering teams across optical design (pancake lenses, micro-OLED integration), low-power custom silicon, sensor fusion algorithms for 6DoF and eye/hand tracking, and custom embedded spatial computing OS stacks, backed by tens to hundreds of millions in R&D and manufacturing partnerships.
