I've downloaded the Windows XP drivers and have it all working. Now, I just need to remove the IR filter and replace it with a visible light filter. Anyone done this with their Eye Toy and have some tips? I've Googled around and found some pictures of an Eye Toy dis-assembled. It appears to have _three_ glass plates in front of its optical sensor so I have no idea which one is actually the IR filter. thanks a bunch in advance.

Once I realized that, I was in good shape and made my own visible light filter. If I wanted to make a IR _blocking_ filter, anyone know of a good material that blocks IR so that I could return the EyeToy to "original" condition for use as a standard webcam?
