If you have a DV camera or isight, you should try this - it's a riot! Warning - I recommend a dark background and dark long sleeve shirt. Oh, and don't let anyone see you.

It looks just like a telefunken' U-47 - Zappa

The game mode available in the demo was hardly entertaining. I won't be buying it. They shouldn't have been afraid to put at least one of the better game modes in the demo. It seemed to work ok though.

A friend brought the toysight demo along with his iSight to a recent users group meeting. I wasn't good at landing the paratrooper anywhere close to the target But I had a lot of fun trying. And it was total blast just running through the menus and controlling the program by clicking virtual buttons in the air!! The full version includes more games. If I owned an iSight I'd definitely buy the full version of ToySight to go with it!!!


PS - bad move to only allow the 320*240 Trailer to work with QTPro though.

oops! is that the older one on our Toysight.com site or the new promo one on Apple.com ? You can put it down to us picking the wrong codec if its the older one (we're planning on changing the link to the promo one at the moment).

I thought I had clicked on the link above - but I don't see any trailers there now. Doesn't matter though because I just bought an iSight off this forum yesterday! Next purchase - Toysight!! Just as soon as my iSight arrives. The demo was just too kewl

And a direct rip off of Sony's EyeToy

nah, ToySight and eyeToy are both based (although with very different games) on much older motion detection ideas developed in the Amiga days
