Could you build this?
No This product relies on proprietary pocket-sized hardware cameras, embedded edge computing, and complex multi-view 3D reconstruction computer vision.
What it would actually take: The stack requires custom edge hardware design (battery-optimized camera sensors, enclosure, firmware, and wireless uplink) combined with a computer vision pipeline. The algorithmic core involves multi-view stereo or Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF/Gaussian Splatting) for 3D reconstruction and precise surface-defect differential computer vision models to flag subtle dents and scratches.
