Support for PS3Eye on Yosemite and Windows 8.1 x64? #5

Closed jceipek closed 9 years ago

jceipek commented 9 years ago

Since that camera seems to be recommended for this kind of tracking application, how hard would it be to add support through something like https://github.com/inspirit/PS3EYEDriver given that the macam drivers are deprecated and no longer work?

Hi,

I started working on enabling PS3Eye on Mac. You can see my progress here https://github.com/segabor/reacTIVision-mkalten/tree/ps3eye It's working more or less. One thing needs to be fixed, refreshing framebuffer by a separate thread.

Thanks, @segabor! I just got it working in my project.

You're welcome, @jceipek !

hi segabor, many thanks for your contribution! I just included most of your code (manually) to the master branch, in general your code works just fine, but with my PS3Eye, I only achieved 30fps for VGA and 60fps for 320x240.

@mkalten my pleasure!

I suppose ps3eye.cpp does not allow higher framerate. I think, magic byte sequences used to control the device only support a few combinations of framerate and resolution. But that's just an assumption.
