Too bad they don't make Kinects with different IR wavelengths. It would solve a lot of the problems with colliding data, and allow you to use more Kinects. I don't imagine it is simple though, because if I understand how diffraction gratings work (that's what produces the IR dot pattern), they're designed to work for specific wavelengths. If you send another wavelength through it, you're not going to get the original pattern. And since the depth-sensing algorithm is hard-coded in the hardware, you wouldn't be able to use this new pattern to detect depth.
- devindotcom 13y agoThe new ones shouldn't have this problem since the time-of-flight method isn't as vulnerable to interference... I think.
- rasz_pl 13y agoit is, it sends modulated IR at you, so two kinect 2s will interfere
- devindotcom 13y agoIt's very directional though, isn't it? I'd think there won't be nearly as much scatter as with dot tracking like the kinect 1.
