Could you build this?

No It depends on physical hardware (AtomS3R board and PAJ7620U2 infrared gesture sensor) and embedded C++ firmware for BLE and sensor timing, which need hands-on electronics work.

What it would actually take: You would need the M5Stack AtomS3R, a PAJ7620U2 gesture sensor, and embedded C++ firmware using the Arduino or ESP-IDF toolchain. The firmware handles I2C sensor reads, gesture classification, and BLE HID or media-key profiles with low latency. Real-world reliability depends on calibrating the sensor against lighting and distance, which requires physical testing.
