The Eye Toy is a digital camera device for the PlayStation 2 similar to a webcam. The camera is manufactured by Logitech, although newer Eye Toys are manufactured by Namtech. The camera is mainly used for playing Eye Toy games developed by Sony and other companies. It also features a built in microphone. It is not intended for use as a normal PC camera, although some people have developed unofficial drivers for it.

Technical limitations

Due to the camera's need to "see" the player as they play, the camera can be very finicky about how much light is in the room. Different games have a different tolerance for varying light conditions, with the most touchy of them all being EyeToy: Antigrav.
