I am a student at University of California San Diego studying BioEngineering:Biotechnology. So Im wondering if Sony has decided to drop the IR filter out of the cameras. So I taped a piece of floppy to the outside of the lense and wa-la! an IR camera with a bandpass.

the unmodified PS3 eye saw the IR light just fine. Thinking this is definately not right, I plugged in the 2nd brand new PS3 eye, shined a few different remote controls with IR LED's into it. So when I put the lense back to the board and plugged it in all I got was a big blob. Here is a photo diagram of my experiment. What I had dug out was a part of the lense thinking that it was the filter. As it turns out, that PS3 eye wasn't made with an IR filter. When I opened up the first one, I it took me two hours to dig out what I thought was the IR filter.


Ive been working on making a multitouch display and I came across your tutorial on youtube. Omegabob should be posting these filters up soon to be able to purchase. Here are some shots using a different camera lens than the one above:Ī piece of floppy disc (old method) and the band pass filter (new method) The 11.4mm 842DF33 fits perfectly inside the PS3 lens without any carving of plastic needed as seen in the procedure above. So I received some more filters from Jim (omegabob) yesturday. The filter does a great job at filtering out light other than the 850nm band as it should. The addition of this filter may fix the focus problem, as you can see in the image above, everything is pretty much in focus. Screenshot from tbeta with the new filter on.

Showing the filter looking at the 850nm LEDs that are used on my LED-LP table using the PS3 Eye cam software that is provided with AlexP's PS3 Driver download. So just twist the screws until they are snug and the piece of glass over the sensor and the band pass filter are as close together as they can be without shattering the sensor. The holder does not screw all the way back down to what it had before. Showing the enlarged hole for the filter to sit in. Using an exacto pen knife enlarge the hole and dig plastic away from the lens so that it also sits lower (need to be this tool and not a large razor blade as you need the precision from this small knife) The filter is too big in diameter to fit directly into the hole left when I took out the IR blocking filter. The 850DF10 10mm 850nm band pass filter from omegabob2's ebay store What the lens/lens holder looked like originally after I had cut the IR blocking filter out (as seen in my previous videos ) I am very pleased with the results and will ask that he include these 10mm 850nm filters on his site as I know Ill be purchasing more of them very soon. Below are pictures showing how it worked out. So I grabbed my PS3 Eye cam, and worked at it to fit the filter between the lens and the image sensor on the board. I was excited for the 10mm one, as I instantly knew what I was going to try with it! He included a nice note suggesting I try them out and that he has seen some of my work on the forum, though hasn't himself registered to the site yet. Both are products he does not currently sell on his site.

I bought two of them, and when I got the package discovered that he also had included two extra filters: a 60mm one and a 10mm one. So I needed a 850nm filter due to my purchase of IR LED strips from coming up, and omegabob2 has one filter available, a 25mm one. You can find his ebay store as a link on my blog or here So last week I purchased two band pass filters from the ebay seller omegabob2 who is the main supplier of band pass filters for the members on the nuigroup forum.

**See update at bottom for method of not needing to cut the lens** Here is the 880DF20 filter link and its transmission curve. Here is the 850DF10 filter link and its transmission curve. You need to just screw it down snuggly so that the filter rests on the sensor glass. Doing so will destroy the glass over the sensor and thus destroy your camera. **Update 3/20/09: Filters for those looking for 850nm or 880nm are available now that will correct the focus when inserted between the CMOS sensor and the stock lens.ĭO NOT screw the lens all the way down.
