It's a magnificent device for tinkerers. My workplace picked up a few Kinects when we needed a quick & cheap motion capture solution to animate a few characters in our Unity game. We were quite impressed by how well it did; it could even do facial capture! We still had to hand-tune some of the keyframes, but it saved us countless hours of animating. After getting all of our motion capture done, we wanted to see what else we could do with it. I stumbled across a [1]repo from a few years ago that live-streams the depth data as a point cloud system in the browser. So we cleaned up the code, set up a kinect to point at our office entrance, and now have it live-streaming in the header of our [2]website! It's a bit too heavy on mobile, so we're currently working on a fallback. [1] https://github.com/jawj/websocket-kinect https://github.com/jawj/websocket-kinect [2] https://l2d.co/ https://l2d.co/
