An ultra-low latency (<20ms audio / <33ms video), zero-copy, polyglot dual-track streaming pipeline combining real-time Audio DSP (SIMD FFT/VAD + ASR) and Vision ML (RGB24 planar tensor normalization + SIMD NMS object/face detection). Demonstrates zero-copy POSIX shared memory ring buffers, low-level SIMD intrinsics (AVX2/NEON), cross-language FFI boundaries in Rust 2024, and real-time streaming ML inference on the CPU without CUDA or container overhead.
Real-time 60 FPS decibel spectrogram waterfall on the left, live 640x480 RGB24 video camera feed with neon bounding box HUD overlay on the right, active hardware VAD (96.8%), embedded ML confidence (85.5%), sub-2ms audio latency, and live streaming phonetic ASR tokens.
