Could you build this?
No PLIX is a ceiling-mounted projector with a camera and real-time motion tracking, which requires custom hardware, optics, and low-latency computer vision on embedded devices.
What it would actually take: The core is an optical and hardware design: projector optics, a calibrated camera, and an embedded SoC running real-time tracking with low latency. Building it takes hardware, optics, and computer vision engineers plus a manufacturing pipeline, and the games layer is the easy part.
