PS2 Eyetoy cam as webcam?

Is it possible to use my Eyetoy camera as a webcam or for iChat? Am I smoking crack?

I tried and failed, would be interested if anyone has managed this...

I don't know if there is any software that uses unique eyetoy features, but I used my eyetoy with a webcam software called yawcam to make it work as an motion triggered alarm

There's are many other features in yawcam like web streaming, automatic image captures to ftp server etc.

If you're into this kinda stuff, i would definitely recommend it

The best part: It's free!
