Shake 'n' Sense

Shake 'n' Sense is a novel yet simple mechanical technique for mitigating the interference when two or more Kinect cameras point at the same part of a physical scene. The technique is particularly useful for Kinect, where the structured light source is not modulated. It requires only mechanical augmentation of the Kinect, without any need to modify the internal electronics, firmware or associated host software.

The Kinect is the most important thing Microsoft has made, it seems, for the past decade.

So simple, so effective!

[soniferous]

so they have to mate a Kinect with an Xbox controller

[michelebenbenben]

:D brilliant! so simple and so effective!

[Derp Man]

it really help inventing or make some technologies possibble!

[Chealy Te]

any guide how to get this done from hardware need to software and how to setup ? ..

[Arthur Sakharov]

What an amazing technique!

I have no idea how did you figure it out, but it really helps a lot!

[JRprofucktions]

The best solutions are the simple ones, nice find :)

vol-WHAT? couldnt here you!?

Artificial Eye-Saccading?

This is not the same as a stabilizer or image stabilization, infact, it's quite the opposite. This is moving both the point IR source and camera in the same direction and speed. This causes the light points move with it, the points the sensor sees are static in relation to the sensor itsself (at negligible reduction of resolution), while the images from all other sensors are moving in random different speeds, relative to the one Kinect, putting them in a blur... Thus, easier to filter out.
