Technical Limitations
Due to the camera's need to "see" the player as they play, it needs to be used in a well-lit room. A red LED found on the front of the camera will flash to indicate to the player if the light is too low. Certain games utilize this feature, requiring players to place their hand in front of the camera to quit a certain mode. An example of this can be seen in the EyeToy: Play 'Minigames'. If the player wishes to quit a 'Minigame', they simply cover the lens with their hand.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or limitations:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, the whole is greater than its part; reaction is equal to action; the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time; and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
