So something like eviacam?:

Well, I think that the best place to start is the live.gnome.org wiki:
https://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/

And if what you want is something similar to eviacam as I asked before,
and to get involved in GNOME, one idea would be trying to implement a
GNOME-integrated solution based on it. You can read more details about
it when it was suggested to include eviacam as a feature some years ago:

Best regards, and thanks for the interest
