Could you build this?
No Controlling specialized VR headset camera hardware (Steam Frame / Arcturus Vision) and switching optical/IR passthrough streams requires low-level driver and hardware integration.
What it would actually take: This requires kernel-level or vendor-specific camera API interaction (V4L2, proprietary UVC extension units, or custom VR compositor hooks). Developers need access to hardware specifications of the Arcturus Vision module, image sensor registers (I2C control), and real-time computer vision / exposure analysis to trigger hardware register writes dynamically for IR/color filter switching.
