Xbox Vision Camera on PC: Not Supported (Use a Real Webcam)

The Xbox Vision Camera (Xbox 360 accessory) cannot function as a PC webcam.

Why It Doesn't Work

  • Proprietary Protocol: Uses Microsoft-specific USB video class (UVC) implementation with custom firmware. Standard UVC drivers don't recognize it.
  • No PC Drivers: Microsoft never released Windows drivers.
  • Depth Sensor, Not Webcam: Primarily an IR depth camera for Kinect-style gestures (used in Your Shape, Kinect Joy Ride). RGB video is secondary, low-res (640×480 @ 30fps).

Unofficial Attempts (Not Recommended)

  • CL-Eye Driver (PS3 Eye hack): Does not work — different hardware.
  • LibusbK / Custom Kernel Drivers: Experimental, unstable, no maintained project.
  • Virtual Machine Passthrough: Pass USB to Linux VM → maybe v4l2loopback → OBS. Extremely fragile.

Buy a Proper Webcam Instead

Don't waste time on Vision Camera hacks. A $30 Logitech C270 beats it in every way.
