motion tracking with external camera

in Contributed Library Questions • 2 years ago

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to use a playstation eye camera as a mouse. I tryed different ways, using different libraries but I always become the same error message: "Error while setting up Capture".

There is this disscution on the old forum ( http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1251903672/4) where somebody says it works only on an iMac. It was in 2009, maybe somebody has a current version of it? Would be great!

Cheers

Gaëlle

Hey! I found why: first of all, if you work on a mac you have to use macam and to check that the macam.component is in the quicktime library folder. I didn't do that and loose hours!!

Then, open up photobooth or any programm that uses the integrated webcam of your computer. And now open up processing and run your sketch. Processing should then use the ps3 eye cam automatically!
