Before you start

IMPORTANT:

Before using PSMoveService for the first time, you will need to follow the instructions in the "Initial Setup Documentation" section of the PSMoveService Wiki (View the manual).

It is recommended to use the "IPISoft PS3EYEDriver" driver for the Sony Playstation Eye camera (link given in "PSEye Software Setup" section of the PSMoveService Wiki).

You can launch the "PSMoveConfigTool" described in the Wiki by selecting the "Configure PSMoveService" option from the iVRy "Launch" button. PSMoveService will be started automatically.

NOTE:

PSMoveService is experimental "alpha" quality software. It is provided in DLC form as a convenience for those users who wish to experiment with it. It is complicated to set up, not suitable for all purposes, with no guarantee of success. If you are not comfortable with experimental software, that requires a lot of tweaking, and may not be suitable for your purposes, then please do not use it. It is not, under any circumstances, to be considered as "production level quality" software. It is open-source software, made by volunteers, in their free time.
