In my (very limited) experience, AirMirror by AirDroid (https://www.airdroid.com/) should accomplish what you are looking for. It basically replicates the phone display on the computer screen, allowing you to control the phone from the computer. If I remember correctly, it can connect via WiFi (with a bit of latency) or USB (with a bit of tinkering).

Subject: Phone Access Ideas Needed for Head Tracker User
Hi List,
I have a patient who needs mouse access to his Android phone. He uses a HeadMouse on his computer with dwell select. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can mirror an Android onto a commuter screen AND actually control it from his computer screen. While he uses voice recognition on his phone for many things he also needs mouse access.
Another option would be to get an OTG adapter and connect his phone to a head tracker. He goes back and forth between phone and computer constantly so this would require the use of a second head tracker. The family prefers the first option for obvious reasons but does anyone know if HeadMouse will work on an Android phone if you use an OTG adapter? If not maybe a different head tracker offers a solution. Thanks.
Stay safe, sane, and get some sun!
Amy
