And if you have an EyeToy, you have a USB webcam.
The usable drivers for this are third party and a little intimidating.
Only follow these instructions if you feel comfortable installing non-Microsoft-approved drivers on your system.
Then install these drivers by double-clicking the executable and following the on-screen instructions.
You’ll see a few odd warning pop-up, including a windows that says “????”
with an “OK” button.
This is normal, for some reason, so don’t panic.
Now that the driver is installed, go ahead and plug your Eyetoy into your machine.
Test to verify your drivers are working.
(Sorry about the whole “pointing the camera at the screen so as to see infinity” thing.
I couldn’t resist.)
Ubuntu
Using Ubuntu?
You’ve already got full EyeToy compatability.
Simply plug in your EyeToy and you’re good to go.
Sure, many Macs come with built-in webcams, but not all of them.
Simplydownload the macam driversand drag the file “macam.component” to “/Library/Quicktime.”
Everything should be working after that.
Conclusion
The EyeToy is not a perfect webcam.
The resolution is low and it has some serious troubles with daylight"many images will be washed out.
One additional tip: don’t forget you’re free to focus the EyeToy manually.
