The free version doesnt have all the features I want, and even the paid version is lacking something I want to incorporate, thats why I am writing my own software.
Software isnt the biggest concern, its finding a decent camera/webcam that has a USB passthrough, which means that it can be recognized by the computer through either firewire plug or usb plug, and the computer could then use it as a web cam. Also I wanted to keep cost as low as possible. So my guess is I am looking for a camera with atleast 320x240 recording with min 60fps, however i dont think webcams have shutter speeds. I am def gonna look into that ps3 eye seems like it might be able to do the job

Tony,

IF it works, please let us know. That could be a cheap alternative for many of us since the PS Eye seems to be going for about $35 and can record speeds up to 120 fps at 320 X 240 or 60 fps at 640 x 480.

For that price, you could buy two and get the head-on and down the line views at the same time. (I think V1 Pro supports that IIRC)
