ps3 eye

[SEE]

I took it out! I couldn't get the 'wipe the coating off' method to work and tried several different fluids. I would try it with the IR filter lens in place and if it does work fine with IR LED's (as everyone seems to report), you can use the cam for headtracking and as normal. If you do remove it, then the focuss will be slightly off (which is ok for headtracking). The case is a bit of a pig to separate and needs a bit of 'persuading' even though there are no screws holding it in place.......


I used the 'floppy disk' film suggestion to cover the lens (or fit inside the cam as most vids describe). It's all fairly straightforward and tons of info on the net/Youtube etc.

got ps3 eye to work with freetrack using cl drivers and files installed into freetrack folder. took ir lens out, had to use a xacto knife that I heated up, used floppy disk material and it works great

I'm using a ps3eye, with freetrack, without removing the IR filter, just added a developed camera film to cover the lens and it works very good, so no need to remove it if you are not sure of what you do or you worry to broke it.
