Structure 3D Sensor

This looks like something that would be useful for scanning your surroundings, more than actually tracking since the latency seems to be pretty bad for VR.

I think it's way too expensive though, it's far more expensive than the Kinect, and i can't think of a reason why.

I've been wondering if you could use something like this on your room to make a high fidelity 3d rendering that could work on VR by simply strapping it on the rift. by simply using it over time the fidelity of the model could become better and better.
It could be sort of an "offline" 3d render of your surroundings at high quality with no latency.
I think i would prefer that to low resolution, real time 3d tracking that is ridden with latency.

Likely because Microsoft made a deal with PrimeSense to buy the sensors at a lower cost. Also, Microsoft might be able to absorb a profit hit on the Kinect in order to sell more XBox systems, games, and other peripherals.

More likely Microsoft gets bulk discounts for selling millions of units over the small scale on the kickstarter.

Hi how did you integrate the structure seonsor into oculus
