Topic: 3d scanner kinect, which one to choose ?

Hi there, I'm about to purchase a kinect to do some experiments and I was wondering which one to choose, 360 or xbox one?

I dont mind to pay the extra box for if it offers a better resolution.

Thank you
Max.

Re: 3d scanner kinect, which one to choose ?

I wouldn't bother with the 360 Kinect, the results are pretty poor.
I haven't tried the xbox one kinect, this might give better results. You'll need a pc adapter and windows 8 to use it though.
Another option is a xtion pro live which works with various scanning apps like Skanect. I'm considering trying this myself.
Let us know which one you decide on and how you get on.

I have the Kinect 1.0 for windows  that I use with Skanect It does pretty good. Now the Kinect 2.0 is out and is supposed to have better resolution.
