Gives 3d layout of enviroment. Camera , infrared camera and tracking laser. I see nyko aftermarket versions that are half the weight and only 6 inches wide.... Imagine the robotics application of such a cheap hi tech sensor !
@jstarne1,
You seem to be well informed about this! Thank you very much for this valuable information. Looking forward to hear more from you,
Best regards,

i use KINECT alot in my robot projects,one using ROS drivers but LINUX SYSTEM ,another is the LEAF AI ROBOT project with ROBOREALM ,it has the KINECT MODULE FOR IT
roborealm kinect very easy to add it to roborealm software to add it to LEAF project
roborealm leaf soon Steven (CREATOR) at ROBOREALM is making a interface for EZ BOARD so both or all 3 can be use and lot more modules,filters,controls,navigation and lot more
@jstarne NYKO doesnt make KINECT ,only ZOOM A range reduction lens attachment for KINECT
ASLO if looking to buy KINECT look for a fairly new model,since older models the firmware wont work with the KINECT drivers,i have 5 of them and had to send 2 back because of the firmware ,worked great on the XBOX SYSTEM but not with the drivers
ALSO MICROSOFT has made a SDK for the KINECT ,so if really good in programming you can make a code and DLL for it
Alright, I'm in awe of all of you at the moment.
Lol , don't get overwelmed man..... It's the power of Google. That guy knows everything
dont know everything yet,just been doing it fora very long time.plus love testing different types of sensors fully,thats also my main job at work,testing sensors and motors
