This post investigates this issue and proposes a solution.

Even though the PS3 Eye is supported by Linux 2.6.29 and above 1, and the video worked fine for me. The audio did not… :/"

Humans have three brains
Science
By James Thornton

The brain is our favorite bodily organ. It is where we feel sex, love, and beauty. It is where we get guilty, depressed, and angry. It is the most complex object in the known Universe. So complex that science has only made the first tentative steps towards understanding it. "

To help you out, I wrote a lens about the simple details of how to do it.

Masonic Meditation | Zen Masonry

Masonic Meditation | Zen Masonry: "A Basic Method for Masonic Meditation
This meditation is not zazen, but is designed to help you receive insight and intuition. You may choose to make this your predominant method, or you may use it as a supplement to a regular practice of some stillness meditation such as zazen. You can even use these instructions just for stillness meditation by omitting steps 5 through 10. In any case, some combination of the two is recommended, as well as a routine of at least 3 days of practice per week, though once or twice daily is ideal.
1. Find some place where you can sit quietly and undisturbed for about 15 minutes."
