Could you build this?
No This is a custom hardware and embedded systems prototype integrating Raspberry Pi, e-paper displays, BLE, cameras, and physical electronics.
What it would actually take: The project requires hardware prototyping (soldering, wiring Waveshare SPI e-paper displays to Raspberry Pi GPIO), embedded Linux programming in C or Python, BLE peripheral development, and ADB/Android protocol communication. A developer needs electronics engineering, embedded driver optimization (handling e-paper partial refresh cycles), and custom physical enclosure design.
