microUSB is the USB interface u get in smartphones, which you use to connect to your computer. If you look at the other end of your phone USB connectors, the smaller pin similar to USB is called microUSB.

The advantage will be one can use the camera with phones which will enhance the application of the camera widely.

Try using a hotspot tethering app.

It could work-- any phone with USB2Go functionality can act as a USB host through microUSB. Android doesn't integrate UVC functionality into its kernel by default, but it is implemented. a custom Android install is therefore required to use cameras in their default protocol.

Thanks mathew :) I was thinking on those lines only, but I am not able to plan out how should I go about it. I code, so I can try a hack in android, so that it can help others too. I have ordered the kit from Public lab, I am waiting for it. Once I get it I will try building one and keep everyone updated.
