I think USB camera inclusion would enable users to use existing webcamers and build different applications. I want to use this project to stream video of my formula student vehicle as the driver drivers around the track.

Sorry. This application is specifically for raspberry native cameras. It makes heavy use of the native MMAL interface to this camera to be able to process several streams of data to provide the functionality.

It is not feasible to add USB camera support into this.
