Can I use the PS3 Eye as a regular webcam?

Asked By buckner rocha 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/15/2013

I have a PlayStation 3 with Sony PlayStation Eye and I want to use it to take some personal videos. Where can I find a free download site with PS3 Eye driver? Is it really possible to use the PS3 Eye camera in place of regular webcams? How can I integrate the PS3 Eye driver with Yahoo Messenger, Skype, and other communication applications in computers and mobile phones with poor camera resolution?
