Hacking Homebrew Homebrew Application for Ubisoft Hercules (WC04) Webcam?

Hey all. I’ve recently picked up a obscure Wii Accessory known as Ubisoft’s Hercules Webcam (WC04):

This accessory is said to be a motion tracking camera for a couple of Ubisoft titles (Your Shape, Fit In Six, and Racquet Sports from what I found), and also serves as a standard computer webcam.

I’m curious if it’s possible to get this webcam to run on homebrew software? For instance, a simple app that captures the webcam’s live feed?

Please let me know if this is possible. If you’re curious on how to get one yourself, it’s relatively cheap to purchase on eBay.

Thank you.

You would need the access to the protocols it uses, then build the homebrew app based on that.

Since it's USB it shouldn't be hard unless the protocols are encrypted, which I'm guessing not because

Don't have high hopes though, it's probably a 1MP cam.
