PS3 Eye Webcam, Best Cam for Vision, Augmented Reality



It’s just US$40, and it’s your best ticket to creating your own computer vision and augmented reality projects, imagining stuff before big game console makers do. It’s the Sony PlayStation 3 Eye. Why choose the PS3 Eye over another webcam? Because it was built for CV applications, the camera performs well in variable lighting, has rock-solid, low-latency USB performance, and is capable of high framerates (60-75 fps at normal resolution or even 125-150 fps if you can sacrifice resolution, which might be okay for tracking).
