This looks like a very interesting camera for near-distance work (15cm -
1m):

It's a Time-Of-Flight (TOF) depth camera, with a 1280x720 visual camera
and dual mics.
Although it uses different tech, it should provide a point-cloud and
depth image much like a Primesense, but with NO shadow in the depth image.
Anybody have one yet? Mines been shipped, and there's a plugin to use
the Intel SDK for it with vvvv which is how I will initially test it.
Anyone know if thee cameras will be integrated into NITE and OpenNI? It
would be nice, as using this camera WITH a Primesense camera would give
excellent depth coverage.
Ciao!
