Could you build this?
Partial A basic remote-desktop-style app for phones is vibe-codeable, but per-app virtual screens, native S Pen pressure injection, and ~27 ms latency need Windows driver-level work and low-latency video encoding.
What it would actually take: A prototype can use an existing streaming stack such as WebRTC or a VNC-style protocol with hardware H.264/HEVC encoding. The real difficulty is Windows: an IddCx-based virtual display driver for per-app screens, and a virtual HID or pen-input driver that passes pressure and tilt through to apps. That requires Windows driver and low-level graphics expertise, plus tuning the pipeline to hit the latency target.
