@stratisfire not quite. The light emitted from the Kinect is "near-IR", and actually carries data. The 3D camera doesn't track the points of light, it measures their return time along with the returned data to calculate depth.
@RustyBinProductions I'm sorry but I think you are mistaken. It's not a ToF (Time of Flight) but a structured light sensor. Essentially, the IR pattern that is projected is known and therefore it can be used to estimate its local scale which in turn can give a depth estimation (the observed scale is the inverse of the depth).

check out my latest project at bilibot.com. I'm making a cheap robotics platform using ROS, a create, a kinect and a netbook.

How does it handle weird angles?

@Trancecend i think the kinect has like a laser depth sensor which captures everything in it in 3d

@tha07flopro its infrared. it emits infrared light and then has a camera that tracks the little beams of light on your body
