Jun 16, 2017 The Playstation/PS3 Eye 0.3 Megapixel camera was never designed to function on a PC, only a PS3. There were never officially released drivers from Sony for the PC or Mac.

You need to go to Menu and from DEVICES choose PS3 Eye Camera before you will be able to change anything.Then go to OPTIONS and click VIDEO CAPTURE FILTER to open the window. Please use it to pre-set your camera threshold before you go to set up the threshold in Opentrack. Please set your gain and exposure to get the results as similar to the video guide as you can.
Please note – if you are not satisfied with the LED dots size in your head tracking software you should remove the IR filter from your PS3 Eye camera. We do not guarantee perfect results until you have dedicated and properly modified camera.

Please bear in mind, that the basic, unmodified cameras, never get the best performance when compared to 75 frames per second with PS3 Eye Camera.
This is the defining factor that is most important if you need very smooth movement translation into your favourite game.
There are many (recommended) cameras which will work great as a tracking receiver.

Unmodified cameras (not bought from us)
This only applies if you source the camera by yourself, our cameras does not need the below mod
If you will use the unmodified camera you have sourced it from somewhere else, make sure you have already fitted the 2 pieces of the transparent coloured film enclosed with the DELANCLiP on the top of the lens of your camera.
If you use your own (modified) camera without an IR filter – it is a must to use a bit of film from the floppy disk drive, otherwise, the camera will not function properly for head tracking.

Can't believe I am trying to do this, but even so, I am unfortunately not able to get the device manager to detect any drivers within the extracted file. I chose one By: firekitten, the most recent was quaranteed by Macafee for containing a Trojan. This one appears good. I can't really get any of the contents to work independently, so I have no way to directly install a driver through the device manager or the file contents.
AMCAP is present as Awatson16 mentioned, various application extentions, security catalogs, and SET files.
I will keep pushing, but it isn't looking so good. If anyone has any solutions, please respond. Even if many years goes by, I would like a response out of sheer curiosity and persistence.
