ps3 eye

[jayrc]

just got the ps3 eye for Freetrack and I cant get it to work, says freetrack has encounterd a problem and needs to quit, anyone have a link to the driver I need? It works in cl-eye test but not at all in freetrack 2.2

I don't recall Freetrack working with the PS3 Eye just yet.

Works well with FaceTrackNoIR though, I'm on CL-Eye-Driver-4.0.2.1017:

I and many others are using FT 2.2 with PS3 Eye, you need AlexP's CL driver (linked above) and the FT files released for the PS3 eye to work with FT2.2. The FT files can be found in a PS3 eye thread in Cliffs of Dover or over at the SAS forum where all the files you need (including driver) can be DL'd.


I will see if I can find a link for you.


here you go.....

This is great, I stand corrected! The Freetrack site still doesn't have the PS3 Eye listed as compatible, and I didn't realize there's a patch fix.

I've been wanting to compare Freetrack to FaceTrackNoIR.

Two questions, FaceTrackNoIR doesn't need the IR filter removed, do you have to remove or modify the filter for Freetrack to work well? (I'm assuming I would). Did you make your own clip or do you use the one from TrackIR?

There are two versions of the PS3 eyecam, one you can remove the IR filter the other you cannot. Many with the non removeable filter model say it works just as well with IR LED's. You can tell which is which by the outer lens or wether it has a white ring around the inner lens. The link below describes the differences (if anyone wants one with a removeable IR filter).

I made my own LED clip but you can use a 'trackclip pro' if you prefer and a some do that rather than make one.

I have FT running at 100fps using the PS3 eye cam as opposed to 30fps and a x4 multiplier with my old VX1000 webcam. I used to have TrackIr 4 but FT with a PS3 eye is equally as good (needless to say I sold my TrackIR on EBAY). FT software has user advantages over TrackIR, particularly for CloD.

Thanks again for all the info! \

I have the PS3 Eye that can be modified. Did you remove the IR filter and replace it with an IR band pass filter, or did you just remove the filter, or did you clean the IR filter off using alcohol or something, like the first link mentions?
