Could you build this?

No Creating a 6DoF VR mod with OpenXR stereo rendering and motion controls for a closed-source AAA engine (id Tech 7) requires advanced binary reverse engineering, memory hooking, and deep graphics pipeline manipulation.

What it would actually take: The project requires C++ hooking frameworks (like MinHook/proxy DLLs) injecting into DOOM Eternal's Vulkan rendering pipeline. Developers must reverse engineer the game's internal camera matrices, player view models, weapon rendering passes, and animation states, then bind them to the OpenXR API runtime for tracking and stereo reprojection. This demands deep specialized expertise in low-level game modding, Vulkan API interception, and VR kinematics.
