If you have the newer PS3 eye (sleh-00448), you don't need to modify it at all! This link tells you how I set mine up.ĭoesn't seem to be true, in my case at least, as it can't properly track my LEDs even with a good external filter (2 layers of red, green, blue film) totally blocking daylight. I did this, and the focus is now sharper than before. Because the material compresses and uncompresses, you can adjust the focus with the two screws that keep the objective housing in place.Ģ) Lazy man's method: put pieces of paper (or anything thin really) in between the objective housing and the pcb, so that the focus is correct. This frame is between the PCB and the objective housing. Getting it right is a bit difficult so there are few options you can do if you shorten it a bit too much:ġ) Found this method from some German website that does not exist anymore: you can constuct a small frame to the objective housing from some flexible material, such as rubber foam mat. You can shorten the objective housing by a few (1-2) millimeters, so that the objective housing sits a bit closer to the sensor. Old thread, but because it comes up as the first when googling with the relevant keywords, here's a solution for the focus problem after removing the IR lens: Gave up for the night, scratched one in the scoreboard for the PS3 eye, put it back together so I could salute it before I threw it in the trash, and the problem was gone.Įdit: Focus on it is still screwed up, and it has me all blurry on the image.
My theory is maybe there's a mirror effect going on in there, because the circuit pattern only shows up when it's dark.Įdit: Scratched up the area surrounding the lense. I now have the most awesome circuit board pattern on my camera when it sees dark things and all the focus is fuzzy. Okay, have to strongly recommend people do NOT do this. This method is harmless ( mostly, my focus is messed up and I have tons of motion blurring now ) but otherwise ineffective from what I can tell. Ignore it but I'll leave it here in case another newbie panics. Depending on the room light conditions and the camera used, these are settings combinations that should work: low Gain and Exposure low Brightness and Contrast or low Brightness, high Contrast, high saturation.Edit: The following is me panicking because I had the back of my PS3 eye off.

Alternatively, configure through the software that came with your camera, using the Windows Camera application, or other software like YawCam or CL-Eye for PS3Eye (shown below) The Camera Properties dialog may not work for all cameras.
Modify the Camera Properties so that the leds are clearly differentiated from the surrounding. Point the headset at the camera to see the leds You can press the Trinus Start button (on the main tab) if you want to test using the front leds, but you can already test with the leds on the back, which should light up when the headset is on (even if Trinus is not started)
Press the test button and switch on the PSVR. Enable Positional Tracking and select your camera Please check the context help for each paramter to have a clear idea of how they work.
