The system is already running smoothly in real-time streaming conditions — and this is before any serious optimization work has even started.

Right now the pipeline is still using early-stage encoder logic and unoptimized paths, yet frame delivery is stable, interaction is responsive, and overall behavior is already well within usable territory. This confirms that the architecture itself is sound and has plenty of performance headroom left once tuning begins.

At this stage I’m not chasing speed yet. The focus is validating stability, timing behavior, and pipeline correctness first. Optimization comes later, once the baseline is fully characterized.

Check out the video to see current performance as-is.

I refined the goals and head over to a full device with battery and a case.
