That’s actually something I have not thought about at all, despite having used DroidCam a lot in the past.
Comment on Looking for extremely small camera/webcam for Steam Deck
jaykstah@waveform.social 1 year agoDroidcam is a pretty decent option for using Android phones as a webcam, that’s what I’ve used on Linux to accomplish similar things. Just run the droidcam server on the Steam Deck and either connect to it from the phone via local IP address or over USB.

Literally only found this out the other day, great comment. I needed head tracking for beamng to complete my setup and found my phone’s camera obviously outperformed my webcam. No latency over usb! Anyone wanting to know an easy way to head track with a webcam or phone would use droidcam with Open track. :)
