Seeing as the Eye has been out for over 7 years now, it has been used in quite a few hacks since then. It’s capable of 60fps at VGA, which we admit isn’t amazing, but at $7, we can’t complain - if you drop down to QVGA (320×240) you can go up to 120fps.įrom there you can play around in OpenCV to your heart’s content. He’s using a library called video for Linux with an application called qv4L2. The PS3 Eye has a standard USB interface, and after messing around with it a bit in Linux, was able to adjust the frame rate settings for his application.
Now that it’s kind of obsolete, you can have it for as little as $7 from places like Amazon! As it turns out, the PS3 Eye is actually a pretty capable little camera. He needed a decent webcam that could do higher than standard frame rates. Has started getting into OpenCV and digital control system projects.
