Could you build this?
No Accurate, privacy-preserving real-time hand-to-face gesture detection on edge devices requires specialized computer vision models and low-latency optimization.
What it would actually take: Requires training and fine-tuning lightweight, low-power computer vision models (e.g., custom MediaPipe or ONNX pipelines) to distinguish between benign face touching and specific compulsive movements like picking or pulling. The major challenge is achieving high precision and recall while running continuously on-device in the background without causing unacceptable battery drain or thermal throttling on both desktop and mobile platforms.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
