No High-performance, low-latency remote desktop streaming requires low-level hardware video encoding (NVENC/VAAPI/VideoToolbox), native OS virtual display drivers, and custom UDP network protocols.
What it would actually take: Built on top of C/C++ protocols like Moonlight/Sunshine or WebRTC, requiring custom virtual display drivers (indirect display drivers on Windows, virtual framebuffer on macOS/Linux), hardware-accelerated video capture (DirectX Desktop Duplication, CoreGraphics/ScreenCaptureKit), dynamic bitrate control, and cross-platform native clients for iOS/desktop. Tuning sub-frame latency and hardware encoders cannot be accomplished through vibe coding.
