Could you build this?
Partial The UI tools and interactive canvas overlays are easily vibe-coded, but low-latency RTSP/WebRTC demuxing and 360 VR projection in the browser require specialized media engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires specialized web media protocol engineering using WebAssembly-based demuxers (or WebRTC media servers like Mediasoup/Pion to convert RTSP to WebRTC) along with WebGL shaders for equirectangular 360 video projection and low-latency frame synchronization.
