Could you build this?
No On-device Structure-from-Motion and dense stereo with metric scale is a hard computer vision and performance-optimization problem that vibe coding alone cannot solve.
What it would actually take: A real version would need a C++ core (based on COLMAP or OpenMVS-style pipelines) compiled via the Android NDK, with feature extraction, bundle adjustment, and dense stereo matching tuned for mobile GPUs and CPUs. Metric scale from two rear cameras requires camera calibration and stereo geometry. This needs computer vision researchers or engineers with mobile optimization experience.
