-* The accuracy of tracking will be the same for dual depth sensors or Mutliple Sony PS Eye configurations
-* Dual depth sesnsor configuration is easier to setup and calibrate, it requires less space to operate
-* But Sony cameras allow you to have much bigger capture volume, that may be critical for motions like running, fighting and similar
