Overall CPU usage was greatly reduced by optimizing the critical code.Improved driver stability (this relates to the freezing of the camera image on some machines).I’m using it in Processing with the aid of GSVideo. The new driver is performing beautifully. (Hey, it was a from-scratch driver written by one person.) If you followed our instructions for the PS3 Eye on Windows only to find the camera randomly freezing, we’ve got good news – it’s fixed.
