See what we did there? I perched it atop some support behind the monitor at an angle, aimed towards the play area.
I admit it isn’t the most elegant fix, but it works well. I tried to come up with a graphic explaining why it works with small rooms. Here it is.
See, if it’s angled that way, the camera sees more of the area. It’s as if you put it way back, and gave yourself more space. I could just remove the bed, but that really isn’t an option.
When the PS Eye was at the bottom of the TV, calbration was a problem and playing while standing up was almost impossible. Playing a physical game like table tennis while sitting down is just plain stupid. After the fix, I was able to freely move and play almost flawlessly. Pointing it at the TV and scrolling through options does get a bit weird, though, but it isn’t game-breaking even for Time Crisis.
Go buy the PlayStation Move!
