Could you build this?
No Real-time video upscaling and frame generation on Windows require low-level GPU programming, graphics API hooking (DirectX/Vulkan), and highly optimized neural inference shaders.
What it would actually take: A native Windows C++/Rust application that injects hooks into the Windows display pipeline or graphics APIs (DirectX 11/12, Vulkan) using screen capture APIs (Desktop Duplication API / Windows.Graphics.Capture). The frame generation and super-resolution engine uses custom compute shaders (HLSL/DirectML/TensorRT) running low-latency optical flow algorithms or lightweight neural networks optimized to run under 10ms per frame. Requires specialized systems graphics engineers and real-time computer vision specialists.
