What if one were to strobe the IR for each of Kinects and only have the camera's do the frame grab for depth when that Kinects IR is on?

- gojomo 16y agoThat was my thought as well. Or, perhaps with added filters on the projector or IR camera, using slightly different wavelengths of light from the different sources. Or, perhaps assuming a future more capable projector(?), interactively refrain from drawing dots in already-covered areas.
- nitrogen 16y agoI'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thought of these same ideas. I suppose one reason I'm glad is because it reinforces my current belief that too many patents are being granted on ideas that all of us would have created given the same information.
- samwillis 16y agoRather then filtering the wavelength of the IR light (LED's have a very narrow band), it might be better to use polarizing filters. If you place a vertical polarizing filter on one Kinects LED's and Camera and a horizontal filter on the others they would only be able to see there own dots.
- wmil 16y agoAs long as it's only 2, you should be able to use orthogonal polarized filters.
