Long, long ago the the Kinect came out and it was able to provide 3D imaging for robotics companies at an incredibly good pricepoint compared to everything that came before it. Then the company that made it created a version with just the 3D sensor and that was even better. But then Apple bought them for what would later become face unlock. Apple wasn't interested in being a component supplier so they discontinued se…

Anytime you see something cool with a global shutter (like this does), the next gen of the same thing will use a rolling shutter and be half or less the price. Global shutter makes the math of everything easier, and is therefore good for getting a product out the door quicker, but rolling shutter cameras are cheaper and perform better.

Range? On the front page is says 60cm to 6m and on the other page is says 0.2m to 2m. That's a 3x difference in the same spec, which is it?

I had both the original Kinect (xbox 360) and then Xbox One Kinect. I found that I was able to find a lot more libraries and projects around the original Kinect. Sadly, I misplaced the original 360 Kinect when I moved to a new house and have never been able to find it. I still have the xbox one Kinect. But it seems that there isn't lot of of development done around it. Even though it had more sensors and had better i…

> it made us look elsewhere, as it does not seem like Intel is serious about developing/maintaining this product line Everyone has to find out eventually, that unless „product line“ is high-margin CPUs, Intel will cancel it sooner or later. I hope they aren’t stupid enough to do that with their GPUs (again).

> I hope they aren’t stupid enough to do that with their GPUs (again). They have to keep the GPU part alive, if only to be able to compete with AMD. It's no surprise that both the PS5 and Xbox run on a CPU+GPU combination from AMD - if Intel wants to ever get a share of the console market again (which is admittedly low margin, but extremely high volume to make up for it) they have to be able to match the kind of degr…
