New to the PlayStation Eye is a noise-cancelling microphone which reduces background noise to focus on your speech when chatting to people online. Meanwhile, the camera itself can be used to take photographs and create videos or audio files, which can then be saved to the PS3's hard drive. The Eye Camera also comes bundled with software – called EyeCreate – for editing or adding “eye-catching effects” to your creations.
Eye Camera can capture up to 120 frames per second, for smoother video, and is engineered to work in low-light too, meaning it doesn't need a brightly lit room to function properly. There's also an adjustable zoom lens, featuring a 56 field of view for head-and-shoulder chat, plus a 75 field of view to capture the whole body, doubtless for EyeToy-style arm-waving games.
Features:
- A sophisticated microphone with the ability to reduce background noise and focus on the spoken word for smoother, more accurate speech recognition and transfer.
- The ability to capture videos and audio clips directly to your PS3’s hard disk drive
- Engineered to perform well even in low-light conditions
- A range of different capturing modes, including slow motion and time-lapse (used with included EyeCreate software)
- Faster frame rate for improved tracking, responsiveness and smoothness
- Two position zoom lens for close-up and full body options
- A range of eye-catching visual effects to apply to photos and videos
Bundled with EyeCreate™ editing software, which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips
There are better webcams, but this is a great pretty for a decent starter webcam. For those that didn't realise, it can be used on a Windows PC.
