So I am a software engineer and was thinking about building a tool for newer players, or experienced players who dont have hundreds/thousands of items memorized, who want to know the value/price of items.
Specifically for deciding perhaps what to keep, or if they aren't sure if they need it or not.

Here is what I propose, and would like feedback of potential value of it to people.

Setup: OBS streaming software + 2 plugins. 1st plugin scans image/take screenshot every few seconds or via a hotkey.

I would set up computer vision(OpenCV) to find/read the inspected item's name. e.g. https://i.imgur.com/Af8Ftcp.png

Then it would look up the value/metadata of the item. Probably just a local text file, that you can adjust the values/metadata yourself. Because prices changes all the time, so I'd probably provide some baseline estimates for most things, but would still work for easily changing to your liking. And output to OBS overlay. e.g. https://i.imgur.com/3jnYj44.png

Note: This does not hook into the game in any way. This does not display over your main game window. It is 100% driven through OBS. It would not send/receive any data to any server. It would only show up on your stream window (Even if you aren't actively recording/streaming). So the only way it'd useful/work for yourself, is if you have OBS up on a 2nd screen or something. Both for you and potential viewers.
