They are similar to Microsoft Kinect sensor and can be used in the same way. But there are certain differences that you can take into account: [[ASUS Xtion vs MS Kinect Comparison|ASUS Xtion vs MS Kinect Comparison]]
 In order to use ASUS Xtion with iPi Recorder, the '''PrimeSense package for OpenNI''' should be installed. It can be downloaded from [http://www.openni.org/Downloads/OpenNIModules.aspx OpenNI web site]. On that page, select ''Open NI Packages'', ''Stable'', ''PrimeSense Package Stable Build for Windows x86 (32-bit) v20.4.2.20 Redist Edition'' and click the '''Download''' button. Once downloaded, run installer and follow the instructions.

 :'''Note''': ASUS Xtion device comes with CD that already contains some old version of PrimeSense package for OpenNI. This version is not compatible with iPi Recorder, so it is necessary to download and install new version from OpenNI web site. If you have already installed software bundled with device it may be required to uninstall it before installing the new version.
-After installing PrimeSense package, plug Xtion(s) to computer and ensure all of them are visible to the system and work properly (no warning sign).
