Could you build this?
Partial Building a simple web frontend for an audiovisual party is straightforward, but synchronizing real-time audio, WebGL visualizers, and state across massive numbers of concurrent users requires non-trivial networking.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires WebAudio/WebWorker synths, WebGL/Three.js shaders on the client, and a clustered WebSocket or WebRTC data channel backend (Node.js/Elixir) for low-latency synchronization of musical tempo, chat, and avatars. The hard part is managing audio clock drift across disparate client devices and scaling peer/socket connections for 'massively multiplayer' concurrency. It requires expertise in real-time distributed systems and client-side audio DSP/WebGL rendering.
