Could you build this?

Partial It requires integrating low-level VR controller bindings, OpenVR/SteamVR input hooks, and custom hardware camera interfaces, which go beyond standard conversational coding.

What it would actually take: This project requires an OpenVR/OpenXR background overlay application written in C++ or C# that listens for specific controller chord inputs and interfaces directly with SteamVR APIs to toggle pass-through video streams. The difficult part involves handling real-time video feeds from the Arcturus camera, low-latency display overlays, and interacting with SteamVR driver internals.
