Could you build this?
No Real-time markerless motion-tracking fighting games on iOS require advanced computer vision, ultra-low-latency body pose estimation, physics collision detection, and low-latency AirPlay screen casting.
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on Apple's Vision framework (VNDetectHumanBodyPose3DRequest) or custom CoreML models running at 60 FPS, tied into SceneKit or Unreal/Unity with custom inverse kinematics. The hardest challenges are sub-frame gesture/strike classification, robust occlusion handling in living room environments, and achieving zero-perceived-latency AirPlay or HDMI output. This requires specialized game engine developers and computer vision engineers.
