Neat. A few years ago I made a wireless version with more modern LEGO car and RPi camera. Great fun to drive around until the latency gets you stuck and you have to pry it from behind the sofa :)

That's not actually progress but a regression due to walled gardens.
Thanks for opening up ... but also why even get to such a bad spot in the first place?
Here's mine, turning a kinect1's depth stream into a camera device

So in this case, the hack is unneccessary, there is no limit of which you speak
That kind of makes Apple's signed camera extension requirement a bit useless, since any application that wants to be a camera, or wants to support some odball USB camera, could just ship the OBS one?
Smells a bit insecure to me, but also helpful as a tinkerer...

Please write yourself.
I genuinely don't understand why someone would want to work like this. There's obviously no practical use in having a 26-year-old novelty webcam work at 5fps. What made it interesting was the process of figuring it out and writing it up, which others could then read and learn from.
Instead it looks like this 'author' just watched an LLM code it and write up for them, and published it unedited. What is anyone getting out of this completely soulless process?
When I scroll through someone's personal blog and every single post is AI written I get that AI nausea/fatigue feeling.
