Structure 3D Sensor
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/occipital/structure-sensor-capture-the-world-in-3d Doing well on Kickstarter at the moment Here is a short video of it with the Rift and 3Gear hand tracking ...
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.
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.
