Connect HoloLens to a Webcam (wirelessly)

edited May 2017 in Discussion

I want to connect a webcam to HoloLens wirelessly (facing towards the user wearing HoloLens). The idea is to use the Sharing asset of Unity and send live facial captures OTA to people present at different locations (in the same server as of now). Any suggestions as to what camera would best suite for this? I was thinking of getting a normal USB webcam but the current USB in HoloLens I guess does not support connecting external devices. Any suggestions are welcome.
