Partial The family library, reading log, and personalized picks are vibe-codeable CRUD and recommendation work. Scanning books to identify them and the AR 'magical worlds' are harder pieces that need computer vision and content production.
What it would actually take: The app would combine ISBN barcode scanning and cover recognition, using a book metadata API such as Open Library or Google Books. The AR world features need a 3D or AR engine (ARKit/ARCore) with curated content, and the cultural book picks need a licensed or curated catalogue. Reliable page-level tracking for reading features and content licensing are the main hard parts, which need CV and content-ops expertise.
