EyeToy

The EyeToy is a color digital camera, similar to a webcam, for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. The technology uses computer vision to process images taken by the camera. This allows the players to interact with games using motion, color detection and also sound, through its built-in microphone.

Using EyeToy is not that difficult, so all you have to do is plug in your device, install it, and get all the fun!! But some people are really not into technology, and just installing a device sounds impossible to do!!! So here are some easy steps to follow and get your EyeToy going....

Step1:
Open Device Manager by going to Start Menu > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager. Plug your EyeToy into your computer’s USB port - if Windows gives you a “Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard” popup, cancel it and continue installing via Device Manager. You EyeToy should appear in the Device Manager list under “Imaging devices” and should have a big yellow exclamation alert next to it. It will also tell you which model EyeToy you have - either Namtai or Logitech.

Step2:
Still in Device Manager, right click on your EyeToy and select “Update Driver”.

Step3:
Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard!!
Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software???
Select "NO, not this time."
Now, click "Next" to continue.

Step4:
What do you want the Wizard to do??
Select "Install from a list or specific location."
Then click "Next" to continue.

Step5:
Browse to the folder where you extracted the drivers.

Step6:
You can safely click "Continue anyway" here.

Step7:
Just click "OK!!"

Step8:
Read the prompt, tell them where you live, then click Yes or No.
(You don't wanna burn alive!!!!)

Step9:
Click "Finish" to close the wizard.

Step10:
C'mon!!!! Use it :)
