• Computer (desktop or laptop):
  • CPU: x86 compatible (Intel Pentium 4 or higher, AMD Athlon or higher, 2GHz), dual- or quad- core is preferable
  • Operating system: Windows 8 / 7 / Vista SP2, x86 or x64
  • USB: at least two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 controllers

    For more info see USB controllers

    

    Important! Kinect 2 for Windows, Kinect for Xbox One requires USB 3.0 controller. Kinect SDK 2.0 currently supports only single sensor on one PC.

  • ExpressCard or eSATA slot (for laptops)

    Optional, but highly recommended. It allows to install external USB controller in case of compatibility issues between cameras and built-in USB controllers, or if all USB ports are in fact connected to a single USB controller

  • Storage system: HDD or SSD or RAID with write speed:
    • For Kinect 2 for Windows / Kinect for Xbox One sensors:
      • 2 sensors — not less than 66,0 MByte/sec
      • 3 sensors — not less than 99,0 MByte/sec
    • For Microsoft Kinect sensors:
      • 2 sensors — not less than 55,0 MByte/sec
      • 3 sensors — not less than 82,5 MByte/sec

Note: If your write speed is lower, you can use can use background subtraction mode. Alternatively, you can use compressed mode (that gives 3-5 times lower required write speed, but the CPU performance may become a bottleneck)

• 2 or 3 depth sensors: Microsoft Kinect 2 for Windows / Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One, or Microsoft Kinect
  • To choose see Depth Sensors Comparison

Note: For Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One you will need Microsoft Kinect Adapter cable

• Optional: active USB 2.0 extension cables
• Optional: Kinect for Xbox One floor mount
• Optional: Kinect Adjustable Tripod Stands
• Minimum required space: 2.5 m by 2.5 m (8 by 8 feet)
