Could you build this?

Partial A basic Android app that reads hinge angle through the Jetpack WindowManager API and plays shader-based effects is codeable. Making the effects smooth and polished across many foldable devices needs graphics and device-testing expertise.

What it would actually take: This would be a native Android app (Kotlin with Jetpack WindowManager's FoldingFeature for hinge state, plus OpenGL ES or AGSL/Compose shaders for the glass effects). The hard parts are GPU-efficient, visually polished shaders and tuning animation to real hinge motion across device models, which needs graphics engineering and access to many physical foldables.
