Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic screen capture are straightforward, but building a smooth, hardware-accelerated, zero-lag desktop overlay magnifying cursor movements across arbitrary displays requires native desktop graphics APIs.
What it would actually take: Requires native desktop development (Swift/Metal for macOS or C++/DirectX for Windows) using OS-level screen capture APIs (ScreenCaptureKit or Desktop Duplication API). The hard part is rendering an uninhibited, non-capturing transparent overlay window that smoothly tracks cursor coordinates at 60-120fps with minimal CPU/GPU overhead. Requires solid knowledge of native desktop windowing and graphics pipelines.
