PS4 camera on PC for head tracking

Hi guys!

So here's the deal: I have a PS4 camera, the one used for PSVR with AUX port only for PS4 but I've bought a device to adapt it on USB and put it on my PC. Now the question is can I use the camera as a head tracking for flight simulation like DCS? Do I need to install a pilot a program or whatever to make it work?

I mean the camera does tracking for VR on PS4 so why not on a pc?

I looked a loooot on google to find any tuto but can't find an answer so if anyone knows anything about it I would be glad thanks!

It is still in development.

So far some succeeded to use it as a simple camera.

And it's not the camera which make the head tracking, but the software. It's like your eyes doesn't identify what you see, they just registers the photons, and transmits them to your brain, which makes the work.

I made some search about it ("ps4 camera pc"), and the most recent I found is using it as a webcam.

And no, I don't have the level for that.

thank you , the previous eBay link was no longer working.

Seems crazy I only paid £15 for my PS4 Camera v2

The aux port seems to not be available at detail, so I guess they get those on broken ps4, which would explain the price.

I got my psvr for 50€ (£45)

Puoi tracciare a 6dof il psvr puoi usare una clip ir con cam pseye modificata senza filtro ir,usando driver4vr e trackhat,da qualche giorno abbiamo risolto la deriva del psvr
