Could you build this?

Partial The iPad UI and connection flow are vibe-codeable in Swift. A smooth remote desktop client also needs low-latency hardware video decoding and a custom protocol, which take real streaming expertise.

What it would actually take: Build it in Swift with VideoToolbox for H.264 or HEVC decoding, a network transport such as UDP or WebRTC, and Metal rendering plus touch and keyboard or pointer input mapping. The hard parts are latency tuning, packet loss handling and protocol compatibility with the voxl server, which need someone experienced with video streaming.
