Use Playstation Eye As Webcam

If your like me and uses Both the PS3 and PC, you may of tryed to see if your PS EYE works on the PC as a webcam Unfortunately it wont work straight off, But some genius has been busy recoding the. Sony PLAYSTATION Eye Camera - web camera sleh00201. Sony PlayStation Eye 9473459. Total Price Tax Shipping Store In Stock $25.99. If you have a PS2/PS3 Eyetoy, but don't want to go and spend $30+ dollars on a new webcam, then this is for you. If you have a PS3 Eyetoy I believe it PNP compliant and thus compatible with most operating systems. Simply plug it in and you should be set!

The PS3 Eye is essentially a webcam; these are normally used with computers, but in this case was made for use with a video game console. Supplies from an electronics store and a camera store will be needed, as will a video program to use on a computer. So I just recently bought Playstation Move, which includes the camera Playstation Eye. I don't own a webcam, & my mother would like to start using Skype. So my question is can it be used as a webcam? I've done Google searches but it only shows up stuff from years ago.

Developer Bigboss (aka psxdev) has released PS4EyECam driver, as you might expect from the title this driver allows you to use your PS4 EyE Camera on both the PC and MAC platforms. There is still a number of things the developer wants to add to this impressive release. View all the information about this new release below.​
