Could you build this?

Partial The basic interface layout is vibe-codeable, but real-time spatial glass shaders integrated into the SteamVR compositor require specialized graphics programming.

What it would actually take: Building this requires the OpenXR or OpenVR SDKs paired with a rendering engine or custom C++/Vulkan pipeline. The hard part is writing performant GLSL/HLSL shaders for real-time glass refraction and chromatic aberration that run smoothly within the VR headset compositor without causing frame drops or motion sickness. This requires specialized 3D graphics programming skills and physical VR testing hardware.
