What is BigCam?
Universal Control Center: Functions as a hub for configuring different types of cameras in the system.
Smartphone as Webcam: Allows you to use your phone's camera wirelessly (via browser), eliminating the need for cables or paid applications.
DSLR Camera Support: Originally created to allow the use of cameras like the Canon Rebel T3 as a webcam via gphoto2 and ffmpeg.
AI Features: Includes modern features such as background blur (bokeh) via artificial intelligence (MediaPipe).
Extra Tools: Has an integrated QR Code scanner and supports multiple languages.
Performance: The latest version uses direct capture via OpenCV V4L2, ensuring fluidity even on USB 2.0 connections.
