PS1/2 Eye-Toy camera as a webcam!

[fridgos]

If you search on google something like 'Eyetoy webcam', you'll get lots of info on how to turn your eyetoy camera into a webcam. Last night I gave it a go, and I was amazed with the outcome. The capture rate is amazing, and the quality is perfect. It has a built in microphone, and you can adjust the focus [No, not all Webcams can].

If you want to do it, I recommend this website for a tutorial.

So, have any of you lot done it? Or plan on doing it?

Does it have a method to turn off the led? My pc dectects it as power led, which is totally annoying.

PSEYE for the PS3 is and works as a much better web camera than the Eyetoy camera ......

It's 4 x the Resolution and and 2x the frame rate of the original Eyetoy

Ive used a friend's. And it is indeed superb quality.


And about the pseye.
No one's figured out how to get drivers working, and give the camera quality.
Edit: Nevermind that. It's been worked on! Now I may actually buy one.

What's cool is you can also you the eyetoy mic during online gameplay as a mic.

I used to take pics with it but the quality was really bad
