Could you build this?
Partial The Android app and the desktop client are buildable, but a true virtual webcam driver that apps recognize on Windows and Ubuntu requires low-level, signed driver or kernel-level work that vibe coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: The stack would be an Android app streaming video over USB/ADB or Wi-Fi, plus a Windows Media Foundation virtual camera (or a signed driver) and a Linux v4l2loopback module. The hard parts are the low-latency video transport and the OS-level virtual camera registration and signing, which need systems programming and driver-signing expertise.
