just a note on the autonomous quadrocopter. It already uses a depth sensor. I think kinect was either cheaper or done as kind of a gag. Haven't found information on it, but they've been using depth and 3d cameras for several years now.


Yeah man. It would make perfect sense. Depth cameras have been around for some time. But never have you been able to get one for 150 dollars. Due to its high end technology and low end entry price, Kinect is giving a lot of people the opportunity to screw around with a 3D sensor with little financial investment. I find it funny how a lot of these guys are buying a Kinect when they dont even own a 360.
