Tutorials What sensor drivers should I install? How can I use Structure Sensor and Skanect? Do you support the Kinect for Xbox One (Kinect V2)? Unfortunately, we have chosen not to support the Kinect for Xbox One (Kinect V2), as during our tests, the resulting 3D scans did not meet our standards for quality. You can find a complete list of supported devices on our download page: Bad License Key Error – Why doesn’t my license key work?

If you still receive an error message let us know by emailing us skanect@occipital.com What sensor should I buy? Each sensor has its pro and cons. My Kinect for XBox sensor cannot be detected! Since Skanect 1.5, you need to install the full Microsoft Kinect SDK, the latest link is provided in our download page. What graphics cards are supported? Connect with Kinect Hacks!

Shaking some sense into using multiple Kinect's with Shake 'n' Sense

Shake n Sense Makes Kinects Work Together! Microsoft Research has discovered that shaking Kinects, far from making them fall apart, makes them work together. See it in action in the video.This is one of those ideas that once you have seen it you can't believe you didn't think of it first. The only barrier to thinking of it is that you might not be thinking big enough. If you find one Kinect with its depth camera sufficient, then you really won't be interested in this idea even though it is very clever.

From Kinect to MakerBot

With some open source software, a few simple steps, and an occasional not-so-simple-step here and there, you can print what your Kinect can see. You’ve got a Kinect, and you’ve got a MakerBot. This guide explains how to scan something using the Kinect, and then to print it on the MakerBot. For this guide, I used a scan I made of Kipp Bradford, co-organizer of the RI Mini Maker Faire. It’s very easy to scan something with the Kinect, but the models that you get from it are quite complex. At the moment, these instructions are tested on the Mac. RGBDToolkit.
