Could you build this?
No A hand-pose model running at over 100 fps in plain Metal requires ML research familiarity, custom GPU kernels, and performance engineering. Vibe coding alone won't reliably produce a fast, correct implementation.
What it would actually take: It needs a trained hand-pose network converted to Metal compute shaders, a MANO hand model integration, and a hand-object contact module. Performance tuning for Apple GPUs, such as memory layout and kernel fusion, requires specialist ML systems and graphics expertise, plus access to the model weights and MANO licensing.
