Parts List

Not all of this equipment is strictly required, but if you want to mirror my setup (which I recommend), this is what I purchased.

You can technically use any webcam that OpenCV supports through its general camera API instead of the ps eye, but you'll want to make sure it supports at least 640x480@60hz or you won't get great tracking. It'll also need configurable exposure settings or it will be too sensitive to variable lighting conditions (i.e. desk near a window).

PS Eye Mounting Clip

Needed to provide a flat and secure mounting surface for the PS Eye camera.

ASUS USB Bluetooth Adapter (USB-BT400)

There are several other Bluetooth adapters that are purported to work for the Move controller, but this is the fifth one I tried and it was the only one I had any luck within Windows 10 - there are native drivers on Win 10 that will work fine with this adapter.

Also works in Win7 and Win8.1.

Mini-USB Cable

Used when initially pairing the PS Move controller and for the (optional) PS Navigation controller.

USB Extension Cable

The USB cable for the PS Eye isn't anywhere near long enough if you want to mount it on a tripod.

Tripod

This is essential if you want to have a reasonably sized tracking volume in confined desk space and can't attach anything to nearby walls. You can mount the camera high above your monitor looking down over your desk. This particular tripod is also surprisingly cheap ($25 as of this writing) for what it does.
