Hello guys,
first of all i need to say: Great Work!

Your software is really good & i watched many videos about it.

So now,
Yesterday i bought yesterday 2 of these "PS3 Eye"-Cameras because i want to explore the program.

I pluged in the cams and set them up them in my room.
After that recorded a scene with the "iPi Recorder".

I can't find any tutorials on "how to" do the next steps.
every tutorial i've found was not working for me

Somebody can maybe write me a good >>>step to step<<< tutorial?

Tryed tutorials:

Hi, Welcome to iPiSoft.

I dont work for iPi but I would like to welcome you and say Hi, Im MrBones!

Are you sure you got 2 play station cams?

THe iPiSoftware requires 2 kinect sensors not playstation Cams.

Were you confused at purchase because the promotional materials said Playstation recommended.

I had another customer mention this.

I am reviewing your video support .

Cheers

Hi Caniboy,

I think iPiSoft made a mistake by recommending that you get 2 Playstation cameras.

iPiSoft will work with no less than 3 playstation cameras, and or 1 kinect sensor.

Those are the minumin requirements for iPiSoft/

iPiSoft should recommend 2 kinect camera sensors...

Do you know the difference? Kinects are not just cameras, theyre 3D sensors,

Playstation cameras are rgb cameras only, 2-D.

Make sure to understand before proceeding.

Thanks and Cheers

So that means that i bought that cameras for nothing?

Or could i use them...?

Yes, it does mean that..

And I am very sorry.

you can at this point, A. Retutrn the playstation Cams and purchase 2 kinect sensors.

B. Buy one more Playcam. However the calibration and requirements is harder.

iPi Made a mistake and must correct this soon...

You are the second customer who has done this..

Thanks and Cheers
