Could you build this?
Partial The web portal and storage are trivial, but fast, robust client-side image recognition and AR surface tracking on arbitrary artwork without QR codes requires computer vision libraries and AR engine integration.
What it would actually take: The app needs a custom WebXR or native mobile app (ARKit/ARCore or web-based WebAssembly engines like MindAR/8th Wall) capable of extracting feature points from 2D images and tracking video overlays at 60fps. The hard part is robust visual feature extraction and low-latency image matching against a database of user-submitted artwork under varying lighting and angles without markers. Expertise in computer vision and real-time graphics is required.
