Could you build this?

Partial A visual particle or N-body simulation is achievable as a prototype, but real-time rendering of around a million stars with black-hole lensing across Vision Pro, Quest, and Apple TV needs serious GPU engineering.

What it would actually take: The stack would use Metal or Vulkan compute shaders, a GPU-based N-body or particle integrator, and ray-marched or lensing shaders, plus visionOS, RealityKit, and Quest runtimes. The hard parts are performance tuning to hold frame rates on mobile and headset GPUs, and the physics and rendering approximations that look convincing at scale. That requires graphics and simulation engineering experience, not just AI-generated code.
