With the exception of LittleBigPlanet and The Eye of Judgment, the PS3 eye is not really useful at the moment, so why not trying to (re) use it for SKYPE or MSN??
I managed to put together a first version of the Direct Show capture filter for PS3Eye camera. This will allow us to use this great camera in various Windows applications (assuming they are compatible with Direct Show system) including TouchLib for use in multitouch applications.
If you really like the controller of the PS3, you can use it also under windows for free (as long as you own a PS3 :-) )
Here are the instructions to make it work:
1. Download and install the filter driver (libusb-win32 ) 2. Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.exe 3. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC. 4. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once. 5. Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it doesnt see it straight away.
