Yes, I was a contributor of this project called OpenCamera. The idea was to use Android phone camera as Windows pc camera.
But there are limitations, mostly on the Windows side. The best way to simulate a camera from video stream on Windows is to write a driver. However, we weren't able to pay for a driver certificate. So instead we used an API called DirectShow, which is legacy API and therefore only supported by a few softwares that use webcam.
Thanks for the amazing work! I was wondering how much additional work it would be to use the camera as an external webcam. It seems like it probably would use a lot of the same work
