Ps3 Eye Driver Linux



Introduction

I've been trying to use 2 Ps3 Eye Cams for a hand and face cam. It will be nice to have an option to do dual cameras on this application. When I use obs with 2 CL-Eye Tests open, obs can only recognize one window capture. An reply will be nice and updates on this driver.

  1. Happily there were lots of open source projects out there that were of great help, including the PS3 Eye Linux driver. For those who are unfamiliar with this camera, it's an extremely good value (only $7 on Amazon right now) and it has a decent sensor which is capable of 60 FPS at a low latency.
  2. PC drivers and applications. While there is no official support or drivers by Sony to run the PlayStation Eye on other platforms such as personal computers, there are community-supported drivers available for Mac OS, Linux, and NetBSD and a commercially available driver for Windows.

I'm the proud owner of a PlayStation® Move system and also a proud user ofthe Arch Linux distribution. As much as pride is concerned, it's not very“proudful” when you decide to give your PlayStation® Eye (PS3 Eye) a try asa webcam, and you realize it doesn't quite work as you expected. This postinvestigates this issue and proposes a solution.

Linux

Even though the PS3 Eye is supported by Linux 2.6.29 and above 1, andthe video worked fine for me. The audio did not… :/

All I wanted was to see something similar to the following image. Keep readingif you want to know how to do it.

The problem

As one can see, by the output of the following command, my system had no troublerecognizing the PS3 Eye as a sound “card”:

Run Linux On Ps3

(Un)Fortunately, I don't really use ALSA directly. Instead, as most kids thesedays, I use the PulseAudio sound server to manage the access to my sound card.So, even though ALSA can recognize the PS3 Eye microphone array just fine,PulseAudio can't2.

Once you understand what you want to do, and who is responsible for it, thesolution is quite easy.

The solution

Fortunately, PulseAudio supports configuration files and comes with gooddocumentation. Upon startup, its daemon reads and interprets the files~/.pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/default.pa. Thus, all we have to do isto instruct PulseAudio to look for the PS3 Eye when loading.

In our case, we want to add a new alsa audio source, and adding the line'load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0' to /etc/pulse/default.padoes the trick for the whole system. Or, in the shell:

How can I know what to pass as an argument to device?

You might be asking yourself that question. Fear not, dear friend. With ALSA,you can always take a look at the /proc/asound/cards file. There, you will seethe index of your device. On my case, the PS3 Eye was on line 1 with the labelCameraB409241. Then, for the PS3 Eye, you will want the stream with index zero.Thus, hw:1,0 is our device. The directory /proc/asound/card<index> willcontain all the information you might need about your card.

A small problem

It seems like the PS3 Eye must be connected when the PulseAudio daemon isbrought up. To prevent from having to logout/login, you can use the pacmdcommand. It supports the same syntax of the /etc/pulse/default.pa file. So,calling

Will work just fine.

  1. And with a kernel module available for older versions.↩

  2. More precisely, the problem seems to be in PulseAudio'smodule-udev-detect. I don't really want to understand where the problemis, just want to know why it happens and how to solve it.↩

Hi,I tried to use ps3 eye with OpenCV 3.0.0/2.4.11, Visual Studio 2013(C++/C#) and Windows 7 x64. I use CLEye driver 5.3 for connection and I can't connect my camera to program anyway. Firstly I thought that it's impossible, but some time later I found program that use OpenCV 2.4.1 and perfectly work with this cam and this driver.

A co-author of the book I am launching is describing in his chapter how to connect a ps3 eye to OpenCV. It might be a good idea to contact him and ask him for help. Or be patient, end of october the book is coming out! @Joseph Howse, care to elaborate?
