Week 3 : live link VCAM

Live Link VCAM is a real-time virtual camera solution developed by Epic Games for use with Unreal Engine. It allows users to stream live video from their mobile devices directly into Unreal Engine, where the video can be integrated with virtual scenes in real-time. This enables filmmakers, content creators, and developers to visualize and capture shots more effectively, as they can see the virtual scene overlaid with live video footage from the camera in real-time. Live Link VCAM enhances the production workflow by providing seamless integration between live-action footage and virtual environments, resulting in more immersive and visually compelling content.
