EyeToy Webcam

Mario · Post by **Mario** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 4:47 pm

So I saw my EyeToy camera lying around, and I remembered that I tried to use it on my computer long ago, but alas, no drivers could be found. So a [very] quick google search revealed this:
http://www.iplayplaystation.com/eyetoy-as-webcam/
The instructions are very clear, and it works great! You just point Windows to the folder with the downloaded drivers, and it installs just fine. Also included is a webcam program (Only 300kb) that can take single pictures or videos. It can also take multiple frames, so you can make stop-motion videos. The resulting files are saved as Windows AVI.

I wonder if I'm the only one that thinks this is common knowledge...? Well, if I am, good post, because everyone should know about this. ^-^ The EyeToy can function as a VERY nice VGA quality webcam, actually.

Thanks

A few years ago I heard about it but it was still under development.

Thanks to you, I now have a decent webcam

I used an eyetoy to make all my stop motion videos

I don't know what an eyetoy is, and have no need for a webcam.

I know this way you can see people in full colour with the highest resolution possible. I think you know what it is.

HDTV!
