Could you build this?
Partial The Blender add-on and live-streaming UI are vibe-codeable, and pose estimation models are off the shelf. Robust real-time retargeting across arbitrary rigs, with clean foot IK and bone-roll handling, is harder to get right without animation expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a Blender Python add-on that receives live skeleton data over a socket from a pose estimator such as MediaPipe, a webcam, or a mocap source, and maps it to a humanoid rig with per-bone retargeting. The hard parts are stable, low-latency mapping across different rig conventions and keeping motion clean under noisy input. That calls for animation and rigging knowledge plus real-world testing with multiple rigs.
