Please, add support for the PS Eye camera

[Nill]

It's the webcam that everyone that plays Simulators use for headtracking, and I bought it just to find out that theres no support for the PS Eye

Hi, using manycam.com as an intermediary software seems to be a functioning workaround to make the PS Eye camera work with Eyeware Beam.

Thanks, now i can try the demo. What do you think about the ps3eye? It is afaik the recommended one for opentrack, but yours tracks eyes that's why I'm asking. If the ps3eye is good enough, do you plan to implement support for its open drivers?

What kind of camera do you recommend, and which specs are the most influential considering I wear glasses? I would like to give the thing any advantage.

Thanks for the link, PlaySation eye + manycam + OpenTrack + Eyeware Beam Webcam work.

But some tested games do not react:
- Automobilista 2
- Kart Kraft
- House of the Dying Sun

These worked immediately:
- Assetto Corsa
- STAR WARS™: Squadrons

I didn't test any others because the demo is limited in time, and I'd like to be able to try again with Automobilista 2, to make sure it works before buying the software.

Are there any tips or tricks?

They are currently asking in their discord who has ps3eye cam, probably they weighing adding official support. please go cast your vote https://discord.gg/hK793wVj

Thx for your reply :)

Sorry for the late reply here. We'll make sure to check the community exchanges on here more frequently. For anyone reading this: If you have any doubts, we will happily provide a trial extension manually or you also have the option to request a refund directly through Steam if you're not happy with the app after purchase (revisit Steam guidelines on this. I think currently it's the same as the demo: 2h and 2 weeks).

Here a Reddit post with some users claiming to have found a solution to fix the issue with Automobilista 2 and OpenTrack:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AUTOMOBILISTA/comments/xpqdvc/head_tracking_on_ams2/
- Windows firewall was blocking the permissions to opentrack
- it only works if I start the game in "Steam VR-Mode"

TY for this, installed the demo since I've been using FaceTrackNoIR for many years and wanted to see if Beam was better.
My PS 3 Eye, was not recon and uninstalled the demo.
After I found this post give it a 2nd chance. Worked right away.

So Already got the Steam version. Still need to adjust the settings and maps to my liking, I prefer a small "dead zone" in the middle.

Not Ideal to run 4 programs to make it work, Steam+Beam+Manycam+Opentrack, else it seems like a solid app.

I have the PS3 Eye and manycam but the only devices to select in Beam eye tracker is the iOS app. I do have an image in manycam so how do I get Beam to recognise manycam or the PS3 eye?

Please restart your PC. Manycam should be visible as a virtual camera "Manycam" in the Beam camera input options.
