Due to shortages of the PrimeSense Carmine 1.09, we are now shipping Asus Xtion Pros with our development kit instead.
We highly recommend getting the 3Gear DevKit, which includes both a stand and a PrimeSense Carmine 1.09 sensor, the most user-friendly and accurate sensor at short range. While we support all of the sensors below, some of them are less accurate or are more difficult to get working.
