Could you build this?
No This is a physical wearable device requiring custom industrial design, biomechanical sensor hardware, embedded firmware, and manufacturing logistics.
What it would actually take: Creating Fort requires designing a compact wearable enclosure, sourcing and integrating IMUs, load cells, or electromyography (EMG) sensors, developing low-power embedded firmware (BLE), and training ML models for rep and load estimation. It requires electrical engineers, industrial designers, and physical manufacturing capabilities.
