PS3 Eye webcam support

By elecman on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 11:19

I have a PS3 Eye webcam attached to my Windows 7 laptop using the codelaboratories driver. Unfortunately though it doesn't work with Vuforia in Unity.

Any chance adding support for this?

If it works with Unity, not quite sure why it does not work with Vuforia?

Have you tried editing the Profiles.xml and adding a device definition that matches the device name?

Actually it doesn't work with Unity either. I figured that you handle the webcam and CV logic with a plugin as it will be faster. But if you rely on Unity to get the webcam image then I suppose I will have to talk to Unity instead.

Hi!

I have the same problem. I've tryed to edit the Profile.xml file but didn't work, on Web Cam Behaviour I can select only my webCam integrated on my PC.

There is anything I can do? 

Thanks

Hello,

If the Unity Editor does not recognize the webcam, then I would think that it is likely either a driver issue, or a permissions one.

I've used this online web cam tester to verify that my drivers actually work: https://www.onlinemictest.com/webcam-test-in-adobe-flash
