yep the firefly will work for FTIR, and generally what tends to happen is as FPS goes up so does CPU usage… I would recommend just getting the firefly mv cause it works nicely and there isnt any noticible lag after 80 fps… its responsive enough.

Thanks, that answers my question. With Alex’s new touchlib configuration for the PS3 Eye, it seems that this camera will be comparable (if not out perform) the firefly MV and is more cost effective.
Has anyone really tried the new PS3 with Alex’s mods? Is it comparable to the firefly?

nice work, thanks for sharing, can you tell us what kind of laser you used? and how did you set it up?

I was wondering how did you spread the beam over the surface? and where can I get a IR laser? I can only find lasers that burn stuff online....
thanks

Hello knightmare0
We bought our lasers at Steminc and they are part number SMM12850JT10.  We have mounted several tables for customers and no problems whatsoever.
You can Google the part number and you will find them.
Cheers!
