<p dir="ltr">Hi all - I'm considering getting a MS kinect, but wanted to get some opinions and advice first:<br>
- difference between MS kinect for windows and xbox (eg. performance/features, OpenNI compatibility)? (They appear identical but xbox ~$110, windows ~$270 - SDK seems free so I don't understand the difference except maybe commercial use markup)<br>
- where to buy MS kinect for windows in Canada? (I only see amazon as a supplier 3-5weeks lead)<br>
- if xbox (eg. from best buy), what else do I need to connect to a PC? Do I need to hack the connectors? Does the connector adapter come with it?<br>
- comments on Xtion Live, Carmine sensors?</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have googled these topics but there don't seem to be clear answers. My main interest is for scanning people, large objects and rooms as well as future work for gesture input. I'm currently working with David Scanner for small to medium static objects with structured light - takes too long for people/rooms though and not suitable for gestures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks!<br>
