FaceTrack camera arrived
« on: June 20, 2014, 01:30:48 PM »
Hi,

Today arrived a brand new PS3 camera called funny enough PS3 Eye. It was 19 bucks from Ebay! The one great feature about this camera is the 120 Mhz/FPS lens, yes you heard right, a PC camera over 30FPS for under 20 bucks. Bargain! It is also super sensitive to light and should work OK in very low light.

I haven't had enough time to perfect the setup but I'm already grinning from ear to ear with this technology, sometimes my POV cuts the right mirror of the screen, now with a little head turn to the right I can look at the mirror perfectly.

If anyone doesn't know you can get free facetracking software for Assetto Corsa, what this allows you to do is turn your head left and right and look out the side windows, but you do need a high end camera so that you don't lag when doing so.

If anyone is interested you can find more information here:

Bit cheaper than trackir, speaking of which I better get mine going.
