Of course, it will be less accurate than the kinect itself (but spreading software is cheaper than hardware so it's worth it.). One of andrew ng's students trained this knd of system (3d from images trained using 3d data) a few years ago and was accurate to automatically drive a toy car. That was using just a limited amount of data. Using data from thousands of kinect users will better results than that. It's all a matter of data, the more data you have, the more accurate you can be.

The effort to make something real is probably several orders of magnitude harder than what's required for "I can hack something up in a couple of weeks."
- marshallp 15y agoI believe it has more to do with how much data you can get your hands on. With the kinect - widely available depth data, and cloud computing, I believe a lot of things that seemed difficult are now possible. Open source movement needs to start shifting to crowd sourced data and volunteered compute time movement.
