Sony Ps3 Eye Driver Windows 7
Well boys and girls, I ve been working hard last few weeks to make this great camera work under Windows.
As you may seen it before, here are the specs:
- 4 channel audio input:16 bits/channel, 48kHz, SNR 90db
- 56º or 75º Field of View zoom lens
- 2.1 F-stop, 1 distortion, fixed focus 25cm to 8 at 75º FOV
- 640 x 480 at 60 frames/second
- 320 x 240 at 120 frames/second
- USB.0 high-speed data transfer
- Uncompressed video or optional JPEG compression
This makes the PS3Eye ideal for multitouch applications. The best part is the price 39.99. I found mine here.
Now, the main problem with this camera is that there are no drivers for Windows. The camera s chipset info is virtually non-existent on the web.
After examining the camera internals pictures here I found that it features the OV534-LB50 camera USB 2.0 bridge and the OV7720 CMOS VGA sensor. Both of these are made by OmniVision.
I started thinking to my self: This camera is awesome and it will be such a great and inexpensive replacement for Firefly MV and the like. If we could just get it to work under Windows
Initially, I started poking around with the USB trying to send some commands to the PS3Eye and see what happens
After many long nights I m bringing you the result:
- Full VGA 640x480 60fps video capture test app that features uncompressed high quality raw video
- Low CPU overhead since there is no decompression involved on the PC
- Very low latency 1 frame time period
The camera currently streams video in YUYV format, therefore each frame is 640 480 2 bytes.
At 30fps this amounts to about 17.5MB/s which is pretty low in comparison to the total USB 2.0 bandwidth.
At 60fps the amount of data gets higher and it could be affected by other peripherals connected to the USB host controller.
This is why it is recommended that the camera be the only device connected to the USB host controller.
Most of the CPU overhead that I currently have is the color conversion code that is implemented in straight C/C without any SIMD optimizations.
For real MT applications this code will go away, since we will be extracting raw grayscale image every second byte of YUYV.
My driver exposes PS3Eye camera as a device with direct access, thus eliminating the complexities and the overhead of DirectShow system.
For multitouch applications where low latency is a key I will be working on custom PS3EYE capture filter for use in TouchLib. In parallel I will be working on a DirectShow filter that will allow wide use of this camera on Windows.
Installation:
- Unplug the PS3Eye camera from your comupter.
- Download and run the latest CL-Eye Platform file.
- Click Install and follow the setup process.
- Plug in the camera.
After successful installation, your Device Manager should look similar to this:
Now run the PS3EyeTest.exe program, and the captured video as well as the FPS counter will be displayed.
I added the camera image controls:
Go, try it for yourself
Enjoy.

Sounds great Alex. Based on the screenshot, the image quality looks really excellent.
After searching a while back for a windows driver for this camera and seeing the amount of people that wanted one, I can say you re going to make a lot of people happy not just nuigroup with the release of this driver.
Thanks.
What I m really hoping for, is to have a full access to the camera s hardware and expose it all through the camera setup dialog, so that people can fully tweak the camera. I m also hoping that this camera will become a standard in our NUI community, because it is inexpensive and provides all the necessary features we require.
Yes I do.
Dependency walker reports this
Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for c: download touch ps3eyetest PS3EYETEST.EXE contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem 14001.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
the warning can be ignored of course.
Here is control panel with installed runtime. As well as c itself.
It doesnt have to do with your application though, as touchlib config app no longer works now either.
I reinstalled XP with SP2 on a new machine, installer 3.1, net 3.5, c redistributable, and could not get touchlib or ps3 exe working, same error.

hi, ps3 eyes.
i installed successfully the Alex driver on XP,
it was quite harsh at the beginning, the first tests failed, the video was freezing after a few seconds 1 to 4.
So I tested each port from bad issues to bad issue and reinstalling the driver for each one.
after installing the driver on every ports, it finally works.
Great job, Alex P.
Can t wait for your further improvements.
Echoing this but slightly different. 1 USB port won t work, once i switched USB ports and installed the drivers it will work for several seconds or possibly major movements then it will lock up, Taking 20-30 seconds to close. As I switch/add USB ports it seems to last longer however will crash promptly. All 4 USB on back of the mainboard has the drivers installed. The remainder 4 to 8. on the front is not active/hooked up.
Another note, I am running your sept 8th smaller 53k version. That one will work. Your Recent release of Sept 9th larger 300ksize Will not however, It Initializes, Found ps3 camera then just sits there.
Hope this helps a bit if any at all.
using windows xp SP3
Hi Alex, and hi all since I m new to the forums.
Here is my camera version: B3.04.06.1
On Vista 32 your test app recognizes the camera, but as another people, the image freezes.
On XP 32 the test app stays on Found PS3Eye Camera and no image.
On Vista 64 I managed to install the windriver for x64 from the Jungo website instead doing the wdreg step you provided incompatible with x64 and installed your ps3eye driver without problem both of them appear ok on the device manager, but the test app says that couldn t initialize it.
By the way, just as a curiosity, I removed the IR filter from my cam, and scratched by mistake a corner of the sensor. It works anyway with the PS3, since I can t test it with PC, only shows a very little black point on that corner of the image. It s not annoying, but the image is focused on a near plane. I don t know if that happens cause of the amount of IR that the camera captures now or if it s the autofocus focusing on that point. I don t mind buying another camera, but I m curious if the camera has a built-in autofocus, or it s the Playstation software who is focusing.
It s possible to control manually the focus of the camera through the driver not now of course, but in a future. . That could be nice to fine tunning MT setups.
Throgors - 15 September 2008 PM
If it stops at saying found ps3 camera then you have the newest build of his tester, which doesn t for us lol, you need the older one, which someone posted a link to a few posts back, grab that one, and it might work fine. might
Yep, despite it freezing early in the first time, the older build posted runs it at a smooth 60FPS. I managed to fix the driver init error from before I had an comodo defense, and once I disabled that during install.bat it seemed to fix it so at that point it just froze at found camera. This seems to have done the trick.
Found CMOS OV7720
Bullet projectiles are best left at cameras that operate at around 12000 fps twelve thousand.
The Eye is rated to do 120 fps at 320x240, not 240. But that does mean it could be tuned down to 160x120 at 240, but theres no point.
Also, why in the world are you guys going to jungo, for the runtime libraries me and alex posted earlier in the forum.
I m also having the missing wdapi921.dll problem. For those of you who wish to use the PS3 as a webcam on MSN or something like that, there is a way around the fact that Windows isn t treating it as a video source yet.
There is a program called WebCam Max, basically a Desktop camera.
It has a free trial but comes with a water mark, and there are ways around the trial version, just youtube it and I m sure you ll find some guides on how to get the full version without the watermark for free.
Just set up the PS3 Eyecam using Alex s very helpful guide and drivers, then set up Webcam Max on your computer. Windows will recognize Webcam Max as a video capture source, so all you have to do is open the PS3EyeTest program, and once you get it to capture video from your PS3 Eye Camera, open Webcam max and set Webcam max to only capture video from the PS3EyeTest program. Though this method will slow your computer Having two video capture programs running simultaniously, and will mean you have to have the PS3EyeTest program maximized with no other programs over top of it the entire time, it is for the moment a decent way to use the PS3 Eye Cam as a Webcam or Video Capture source. Temporary until Alex can figure out how to get windows to recognize the PS3 Eye Cam as its own video source.

Great work alexp. I can t wait to see your driver fully complete. With your progress it may be something special but, I still don t have it working correctly. It seems others do so is there something I am supposed to do with the dumped files. Or is it that this computer won t work because it is a 64 bit processor on Windows XP Media Center or just something I overlooked. I now have a discernabale image when I hit capture but it is only a snapshot and then it stays on that image when using the 30fps 640x480. All other framerates at 640x480 give distorted images. At 320x240 30fps I get a slowly refreshing image that but still displays around 30fps on the counter but frequently I also get Error: dwBytesTransferred. dwBufferSize and Error Reading Stream: 20000020 repeating until I close the program. At 320x240 45fps I get still images every four or so seconds although the fps counter at the top right hand screen shows 45.01fps. At 320x240 50fps I get a jittery moving picture. Every few seconds the picture refreshes but at inconsistent intervals where it may have two or three screens at a quicker rate then take a few seconds to refresh again. The fps counter read between 50 and 50.04. At 320x240 60fps i get the similar distorted image i get at the 45fps and up on the 640x480 resolution except the distorted image shows up quicker than at the higher resolution and the fps counter shows 0.00 fps just like on the other 640x480 high fps.
I also noticed that at the 640x480 30fps when I close the eyetest the static image refreshes right when it closes and I see an updated image as the window disappears.
Thank you for all your work and I hope this info helps you with your development and maybe to figure out what causes some to work and others not to.
oaa8, thanks for your feedback and tests.
This image draw issue might be caused by many things video card, DirectX version, etc. The fact that the fps counter updates correctly tells me that capture part works fine, but that something is wrong with drawing on your system. After looking through my code I found the problem. In order to speed up the drawing I used DDBLTFAST_DONOTWAIT flag in the DirectDraw Blt call. On the machines that I tested the code it all worked fine. I changed this now, so please try it and see if this new version works for you.
nikb - 26 September 2008 PM
Sure, AlexP s über-heavy wizardry is cool and amazing. But I m really very confused as to why you wouldn t just buy a cheapo webcam and use it with MSN.
I think Alex s PS3 Eye drivers is attracting a lot of non-NUI enthusiasts into this forum. Evidently everyone out there is looking for PS3Eye windows drivers. People who are looking for drivers to use it with MSN etc. are probably not the MULTITOUCH crowd.
We can either let that happen or do something about it.
Hi I ve been following this thread and decided to post my results. I have the Eye of Judgment bundle for PS3 that came with the camera, so I decided to try this.
I am running Windows XP x64 SP 2
In Device manager, it s showing as USB Camera-B4.04.27.1
The audio drivers installed OK. in fact I did a test audio chat in X-Fire and it recognized my voice.
But the video driver would not load at all.
When I try to install I get error:
An error occurred during the installation of the device
A service installation of the INF is invalid
Then I get the yellow warning next to the camera in Device manager which is showing as Jungo.
I didn t see any XP 64 drivers in this thread, unless I m missing something.
Thanks.
Ok folks.
I managed to get it Working yeah WORKING on XP 64 SP2.
Yay. Whats the Fetch.
It s not entirely by the way, just damn partially functional.
It works great with
320x240 60 fps I can see a line when i shake it, and it moved the pictue once while changing between FFox and the program, :o
320x240 50 fps less visible line
320x240 45 fps more than 50 and less than 60 line :D
But when i got to:
320x240 30 fps, the console goes mad with: Error Reading Stream: 20000020 error codes.
And for further amusement, when I jump to:
640x480 ALL fps it then puts up the picture for a sec, and then DOOM arises and reboots my PC.
Event log nice pal, told me:
Error code 000000000000003b, parameter1 00000000c0000005, parameter2 fffffadfb291f126, parameter3 fffffadfa35c6f80, parameter4 0000000000000000.
Ok, this changes a bit in the four errors, but its irrelevant, i think.

For me it seem ok, but im not the one who made this, right

Some messages before, too much to post it, but then it loops with the
Untill i push the stop, when it seems that it get it allright.
i remember than i am NOT using provided WinDriver, just a undesirable mash-up of the x64 version and the program, k. I DONT recommend doing this, as it will beat the shit out of your PC. and i find it soo amusing :D
I will now try to do it with the BIG resolution, but i think i wont have enough time
buffduffdan - 04 October 2008 AM
Hi - not that great with computers but following your instructions I ve got the cam working in Amcap,etc so thanks :D Just wondered if there was a way to use it as a webcam on MSN. Whenever I try to add it on there, it just crashes and closes. It uses the microphone fine though.. Would really appreciate any help/tips/advice/etc
Thanks
buffduffdan, The DirectShow filter is a very early release, and as such it might not be too stable. I am fully aware of a few bugs here and there.
There is a long list of features that I still have to implement as well. The camera is currently set to capture at a fixed 640x480 30fps resolution and this might be a reason why Skype, MSN and others crash as most of the video telephony software work at 320x240 resolution and lower frame rate.
Please be patient as I m working on these improvements.
Hi, AlexP,
report some error on my setup.
1. Audio is not working well, when i selected PS3 eye in MSN video/Audio setup, error poped up when next to Microphone setup. how can i check microphone works right. AMCAP seems not working also.
2. I can t choose 320X240 it looks multi source ovelapped on the window, 640X480 work well
3. when change from 320X240 or exit from Amcap to run PS3eyetest again, it scroll a lot of error, error reading stream 20000020, seems not dump RAM or EEPROP, right.
thanks for your effor to make this come true.

commy - 08 October 2008 PM
only way i was able to install the new version was to remove the old ps3eye.ax
wouldnt install otherwise well it worked that way for me
and now have the 08 version installed and the 08 version installed new ps3eye.ax
if to not remove the old ps3eye.ax the new version has a problem writing the new one over the old
tried to install new version numerous times over the old but wasnt happening for me
brilliant work on the application
and cant thank you enough for this and the work u have done alexp
commy, you have to make sure that you close all the apps that are using the camera IExplore, Forefox, Skype, MSN, etc. Unplugging the camera and then uninstalling will also help. It seems from the error that you got that Windows still had ps3eye.ax loaded for some reason.
Thanks a lot for these drivers, man.
Sony should thank you. You just made them sell another PlayStation Eye.
Seriously, I m going in a few hours to get one just because of this article. You-Are-The-Man. I was a little worried, because I thought it didn t work on MSN even after this method, but thanks to the post above now I m even more excited. I hope the microphone works as well. I m not gonna read all that now.
Anyway, I saw that Wal-Mart has them for 32.XX. And that s even better. Again, THANKS A LOT for the drivers and all the hard work.
XSIVSPD - 20 October 2008 PM
im haveing the problem that, even though the software installs correctly its seems, both amcap and touchlib report that they are unable to find the cameraq, even though it is plugged in and the blue light is on. im on vistax64 ultimate. any ideas. I uninstalled all previous software that would have anything to do with the PS3 eye and rebooted, then installed the software and tried the camera, gave me the error, rebooted again after installing the drivers, and still the same error..
XSIVSPD, install the latest PS3EyeSetup v2.0b81021. I worked on fixing all the problems with the inf file for both Vista x86 and x64. Make sure you uninstall previous version, unplug the camera and then run the setup. The setup will preinstalll the PS3Eye driver so that when you plug it in, it will be automatically detected by Windows.
AlexP - 22 October 2008 PM
The winusb.dll is part of the driver so it seems like the driver was not properly installed.
How does your device manager looks like. Is the PS3Eye Camera there.
Hi Alex,
My device manager has AlexP Devices and PS3Eye Camera x64 in the sub folder, no exclamation marks or red X or anything, so I m assuming the drivers are loaded OK.
Wasn t there another way to test this besides using the PS3Eye Test App. I thought one of the posts mentioned this was working in MSN and/or Skype, but I want to be sure before I try.
AlexP - 03 September 2008 PM
Awesome work man. I ve been loosely searching for a faster camera that is still cheap, this one always fit the bill but until you was not possible to use.
Two questions, isn t 640x480 x 2 bits x 30fps 18.4 MB/s. Not that this is important, just curious if my math is off or something.
Also, you mention the load on the controller and how the ports probably need to be disconnected from all but the camera. Have you gotten into this much, my hope was to shoot for atleast 2 cameras for an 960x640 accuracy, but with 4 well aligned it d be closer to 1280x960 total resolution 73.6MB/s. Ofcourse that s pretty detailed, and who knows what kind of GPU or CPU you d need to calculate all that data per sec, but by the time I figured I ever got that far everything would be in place in that regard.
Oh and I was going to mention a good middle ground between 30 and 60 is 45-48fps, but 50 is great too PAL speeds ; glad to see you implemented it.
scape - 31 October 2008 PM
scape, you could hook up multiple cameras although I did n test this yet on a separate USB controllers. This will give you full speed capture on all the cameras. Of course you d need pretty fast machine then. FYI, 1MB/s 1024 1024 bytes/s, so you do get data rate that is 18.4 MB/s.
thxs Rbedi100;
i checked that, it s a pay for.dll link,
i found this about
the Missing WINUSB.DLL
On Windows XP, if you install the application software before the driver is installed, you will get an error message that WINUSB.DLL is not found and a suggestion to reinstall the software.
To correct this problem, install the driver. This is done by connecting the measuring unit to the system, which then sees the new hardware. The driver is on the software CD, and WINUSB.DLL is installed as a part of the driver installation.
On Windows Vista, WINUSB.DLL is a part of the standard distribution.
That means. i didn t install it properly
So now i get the test app runnin but not the AMCAP yet sorry, you have no video capture hardware
anyone want to explain why 81008 work anymore, I tried using it yesterday and it told me to update drivers to latest because it s expired. WHY would it expire.
Now im forced to use the latest version, which DOES not work right for me. In msn/aim/yahoo it freezes after a few seconds, and its random, sometimes itll last a full 4 minutes without freezing, sometimes its 10 seconds. It s not a power issue, I ve plugged it in to powered hubs, to dual usb connect cables, different ports. Happens on both my desktop and laptop on Vista.

MrRockstar - 30 November 2008 PMAlex, I downloaded everything, and the test works great. But when I try to use the cam with MSN, MSN doesn t even detect it, and I have msn set to show others that I have a cam. Can someone help me out.
I have a similar issue as it won t even detect the camera properly and the drivers install OK. I still have not figured out how to fix it so don t feel bad hehe

Please make sure you have uninstalled the previous version of the driver all the files are deleted. You can do this by following the manual uninstall steps. I found that MSN keeps camera opened even when its running in the system tray. After this you ll be able to install the newer version. In order for camera to be detected the PS3Eye.ax file must be properly registered this is done by installer. The registration step could fail if the file already exist and it is in use ie. not completely removed from your system.
Hi Alex
I am still having trouble with this when I run the PS3EyeSetup.2.0b81111.exe then after it installs OK, I plug in the camera, then the bubble notification shows in the tray and says it installed the PS3 Eye Camera x64 and USB Camera-B4.04.27.1. Then immediately afterward the Found New Hardware Wizard loads, so I click No then Next, then install automatically, then it looks like it installed some DLL to system32 folder. InDevice Manger it only shows camera installed under video not audio. If I try to run the camera test app I get the winusb.dll file not found error again like I did before.
So I try to open Sype to see if it recognizes camera, and where the camera video preview should be in options, it says Skype can t access the camera.
I also have MSN to test as well but I don t know where to test camera in MSN.
Please Help
Hey alex. Camera works great on websites and stuff, but when i try using it in windows messenger it doesn t work. When i go to video and audio setup, the camera shows up and the video displays, but when i go to webcam settings or try to use it in a conversation it says the camera is in use by another program, even though it isn t.
UPDATE
Never mind, got it workin XD
AlexP, you are genius
I read through lots of the thread and couldn t find any posts about this problem, nor did searching come up with any results, so forgive me if someone else had this problem and there is a fix already posted.
I install the drivers, with the PS3eye unplugged, msn closed, skype closed, and my browser closed. It installs fine, and when i plug it in it s recognized and installs automatically. The Ps3Eye testapp runs fine and I can see video at all resolutions. When I open up recording devices the eye shows up as usbmic6, has the little checkmark to let me know it s working, but doesn t pick up an audio, including when running the test app. When I try to start msn, it crashes instantly, as soon as i click the shortcut it pops up the Windows Live Messenger has stopped working box, followed by a request to do an error report. If I try to use the Ps3Eye in any program skype, sound recorder, recording devices page the program will freeze up, and only work again after I ve unplugged the Ps3Eye. I know this is probably multiple errors, but I ll take any help I can get. My main goal is to use it as a microphone I m skyping my cousin into our D D games, but as a webcam would be nice too. It used to work, since then I ve reinstalled vista.
I m running Vistax64 home premium, any ideas.
