Use PlayStation Eye As Webcam On Windows To start with, you need to download the drivers file which would actually let you use PS Eye on PC. SO, download CL-EYE platform file on to your computer. Once you download the above file, install it on your computer. If you have a PS2/PS3 Eyetoy, but don't want to go and spend $30+ dollars on a new webcam, then this is for you. If you have a PS3 Eyetoy I believe it PNP compliant and thus compatible with most operating systems.
