Starting from version 1.8.0.81, iPi Recorder supports ASUS Xtion and ASUS Xtion Live devices (and also PRO modifications for developers). 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 before making decision on which device to choose for use with iPi Motion Capture.

Kinect vs Xtion
Both Microsoft Kinect and ASUS Xtion sensors are based on the same PrimeSense infra-red technology. So all basic characteristics critical for full-body motion capture are generally the same. But there are some diffeneces that you can take into account:
| Device | Pros | Cons |
