Imaging Device and Webcam

As the recent need for remote learning, trying to setup stream hardware
ITS has Doc Cam hardware however the driver they provide here: https://www.elmoeurope.com/index.php/en/download-service/software installs the device as "Imaging devices" which is somehow different from "Cameras" ( from device manager)
- TWAIN is also used by scanner so understand why it does make sense for Chat apps not supporting it
- But why do real-time doc cam register as TWAIN instead of Cameras
  - It doesn't provide better quality
  - Speculations:
    - YUV format?
    - FPS?
    - Irregular resolution?
PS Eye driver written by this company https://codelaboratories.com/products/eye/driver/
- Archive (link : https://archive.org/download/CLEyeDriver5.3.0.0341Emuline/CL-Eye-Driver-5.3.0.0341-Emuline.exe)[download alt]
- Also registers as "Imaging devices" thus meaning can't be used by most of the windows apps
Making a TWAIN to Camera bridge
- Does it worth the effort?
- As newer devices(even doc cams) supports UVC driver
- If as a hobby project, what's the effort
  - Device driver
  - Bridging service
