Use case
Users in remote meetings, online classes or livestreams need to turn a phone into a camera and microphone recognised by meeting software when the computer's built-in devices are poor or absent.
The old practice is buying USB cameras and microphones, or using similar phone-as-peripheral tools such as DroidCam, Iriun and WO Mic.
Laptop cameras are poor and microphones pick up noise, buying peripherals costs money, and cloud noise-reduction tools require uploading audio and creating accounts.

Demand is evidenced
Trend: idle phones are being repurposed as peripherals, with local noise reduction replacing cloud processing so privacy and zero cost become the selling points. Entry: a wedge is individuals and small teams with tight budgets who do not want meeting audio uploaded, such as remote interviews, online classes and livestreams; the repository discloses no payment path, so watch for enterprise procurement or a hosted version.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: it performs noise reduction and echo cancellation locally, removing the step of uploading audio and registering an account, and plugs into meeting software as a virtual camera, so privacy-conscious users who do not want to buy hardware would choose it.
