Anyone use a webcam for head tracking? Trying to set it up but have an issue...

I'm trying to set up headtracking using a PS3 Eye camera as per (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y00m4B2VDpw&t=230s)

Should be simple enough:

Install PS3 Eye Driver
Install AITrack software
Install Opentrack software

And adjust the very simple settings.

I did that but just got a black screen initially so also installed a different PS3 Eye Camera driver (PS3 Eyee driver 5.3.0.0341 Emuline), rebooted the PC opened up the CL-Eye Test app that Emuline installed and the camera works fine in that app (so the camera hardware is fine) but I'm still getting a black screen in AITrack and nothing in Opentrack, any ideas?

Just to add the camera does not seem to work in the native Windows 10 'Camera' app, it just says 'Camera not connected'.

NVM, all working now as intended, not sure how but a couple of reboots and all seems ok.

Ok I've not quite nailed it yet. It was working fine but after a reboot it's back to black screen, probably something to do with the order the various softwares are opened or configured or something so I'll try and figure that out. In the meantime if anyone else uses a similar setup and may know what my issue is I'd love to hear about it.
