Connecting a PS3 Eye cam to a guest machine
Posted: 24. Feb 2014, 07:55
Hello,
I'm using virtual box 4.3.6 on a Windows 8 host. I have attempted to connect to a ps3 eye camera onto two different guest OS, Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows xp but have had no luck. I installed the necessary drivers on XP, and the camera can be identified under devices->usb devices but when i open the software to preview the camera image all I get is a black image. The same goes for Ubuntu. The camera is available under devices->usb devices as well but when i attempt to use it via Cheese, I get the same black image.
I have installed the extension pack and created a filter for the device on both OSes.
Has anyone here had anyluck connecting this particular camera, or any USB camera for that matter?
If it helps, I am using the modified camera as an eye tracker. In XP I'd like to use ITU Gaze Tracker and Opengazer in Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance.
