Question about TrackIR and Kinect

Post by Toth »

Hi,

I'm really not sure which forum to put this in, but I was just
curious if anyone had tried to use them both at the same time?

It may sound crazy, but I'm curious to test something out requiring both. However I'd like to know if the two devices could even work together first. They both works off of IR detecting cameras, so I'm curious to know if the devices would mangle each others signals. Do they operate at different frequencies ? (I had trouble finding the laser wavelengths online for either device). I also would imagine there could be problems using the reflective materials needed for TrackIR, but I do know that MS filters out external sources.

Hi Toth,

You might have trouble using them both at the same time, without interfering with each other, but I think it would be pretty doable. To help in your investigation, the TrackIR LEDs are 850NM infrared.
