How to choose which edition better suits my needs?
This mainly depends on type of motions you're going to track, available space and role of motion capture in your pipeline. The table below summarizes information that should help you:
| Edition | Description | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express Edition |

|
|
| Basic Edition |

Which configuration do you recommend: Multiple Depth Sensors or Multiple Web Cameras or Multiple Action Cameras?
There is no straightforward answer to this question, there are pros and cons each option: Multiple Depth Sensors vs Web Cameras vs Action Cameras Comparison.
Why should I pay for Express Edition when there are cheaper solutions supporting 1 Kinect?
iPi Motion Capture uses our own markerless tracking algorithms that give much better tracking quality than standard Kinect algorithms. You will not have that awful jitter that makes motions look ridiculously unrealistic.
What is the minimum space required for capture?
For depth sensors you will need 7 by 4 feet (2.2 by 1.2 meters). For webcameras-based multi-camera system you will need 13 by 13 feet (4 by 4 meters)
