The PS3 Eye has a standard USB interface, and after messing around with it a bit in Linux, Henry was able to adjust the frame rate settings for his application. He’s using a library called video. I am trying to connect my ps3 controller Dualsock on my laptop. I am using a usb key bootable with linux mint 17.1. So when I run “sudo xboxdrv –detach-kernel-driver”, it’s detects my ps3 controller and indicate where it’s available. But when I run jstest-gtk it doesn’t work with my ps3 controller. Please could you help me! Once again, I wish to hell I knew what any of that meant so I could try it. This is definitely a noob speaking, but Linux seems unnecessarily complicated. I know Windows gets a lot of shit, and some of it is deserved, but at least when I download drivers in Windows, I double-click it, they install, and then my device works. Because they were £1.50 each, I got a couple of PS3 Eye cameras. I'm unable to get them to appear in my Windows VM, but guvcview seems to work well under Linux. I've read that the frame rate can be dropped to 0.1fps for 10s exposures, but I cannot set it to anything below 15fps.

[Henry Tonoyan] has started getting into OpenCV and digital control system projects. He needed a decent webcam that could do higher than standard frame rates. As it turns out, the PS3 Eye is actually a pretty capable little camera. Now that it’s kind of obsolete, you can have it for as little as $7 from places like Amazon!
The PS3 Eye has a standard USB interface, and after messing around with it a bit in Linux, [Henry] was able to adjust the frame rate settings for his application. He’s using a library called video for Linux with an application called qv4L2. It’s capable of 60fps at VGA, which we admit isn’t amazing, but at $7, we can’t complain — if you drop down to QVGA (320×240) you can go up to 120fps.
From there you can play around in OpenCV to your heart’s content.
Seeing as the Eye has been out for over 7 years now, it has been used in quite a few hacks since then. From an actual eyeball tracker (seriously), to an interactive projection globe with touch tracking to even a physical tower defense game.
