Hello,

unfortunately I don't own the PS3Eye, so I can't give it a shot right away 
(I'll try to get my hands on it in the next few days)...

As I'm not familiar with openframeworks, I'll probably take me some time to get 
familiar with it and get it built (I'm not using XCode, so I'll see if that is 
a problem).

When I have the camera in my reach, I'll give it a shot, however given the 
amount of the free time that I have, I can't promise any deadlines...

I'll keep you posted,

Michal

Hi,

I started to play with it; I'm going to use the PS3EYEDriver, as it is better 
for me (doesn't bring any additional dependences as libusb is already in). I 
got it compile, now it is a matter of writing some scaffolding around it and it 
should work.

Next step will be device setup GUI pane for ltr_gui.

I'll keep you posted...

Kind regards,

Michal

Hi,

I'm soory it is taking that long, but it seems that the newer version of the 
PS3Eye that I own changed the protocol a bit, so it works for a bit and then it 
stops, so it is not really usable. The same is happening on Linux, so I have to 
dive a bit deeper to find out what exactly is going on in there and that is why 
it is taking me that long...

Kind regards,

Michal
