StreamToVR turns the two back cameras of an iPhone into a live 3D camera. It films with the ultra-wide and the wide camera at the same time, aligns the pair on the GPU from the iPhone's factory stereo calibration and streams VR180, 360 stereo or side-by-side 3D to YouTube Live, to an RTMP or SRT server, or to a VR headset on the local Wi-Fi through a built-in WebXR player.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and streaming setup are vibe-codeable, but real-time GPU stereo alignment from iPhone dual-camera calibration, with low-latency VR180 encoding and streaming, requires deep computer vision, media pipeline, and Apple camera-API expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app (Swift, AVFoundation, Metal) that captures the ultra-wide and wide cameras in sync, uses the factory calibration data for rectification and stereo projection in Metal shaders, and encodes with VideoToolbox. Streaming goes through RTMP/SRT libraries to YouTube Live or custom endpoints. The hard parts are GPU stereo rectification that holds up under real motion and lighting, thermal and latency tuning, and iOS camera-session quirks, so it needs an experienced graphics/media engineer.
