There is no straightforward answer to the questions which is better - Dual Depth Sensor or Sony PS Eye Cameras configuration. The accuracy of tracking is almost the same. Pros and cons summary:

Cameras Pros Cons
Dual Depth Sensors
  • Easier to set-up and calibrate
  • Require less space due to wider angle of view, minimum required space is 9 x 5 feet ( = 2.7 x 1.5 meters)
  • Capture are is limited with 7 x 7 feet ( = 2 x 2 meters)
  • Maximum framerate is 30 fps (cannot track fast motions)
  • More problems with occlusion (especially for complex motions including rotations)
Sony PS Eye (3 to 6 cameras)
  • More accurate tracking for head and feet
  • MUCH bigger capture area, up to 20 by 20 feet ( = 7 by 7 meters)
  • 60 fps framerate allow to track very fast motions
  • Less problems with occlusion (especially for 6 cameras)
  • Set-up and calibration takes more time
  • More issues with USB controllers (you need 3 USB controllers for 6 cameras)
  • You need more space, minimum required space is 13 x 13 feet ( = 4 x 4 meters)
  • Higher requirements for HDD speed
