I think the Duo3D offers both assembled and DIY kits.
Although LEAP is already trying to make its way into devices such as their contract with ASUS.

I've been thinking recently about looking for a Kinect alternative to mess around with some 3D scanning ideas I want to work on. I really didn't want any of my money fueling the Microsoft war effort so it is really cool to have a few alternatives to choose from.
Haven't done much in the way of assembling electronics, but maybe now is the time to get my hands dirty and give Duo3D a go at either the $20 or $40 levels that gives the plans needed to make my own. Getting the case at the $40 level is nice to, though I wonder if the 3d printing can be done for less than $20.

A better solution to LEAP, Duo3D:
If you watch the demo videos, the peformance (latency/accuracy) seems the same as LEAP. Unfortunately, the LEAP restricts access to raw camera data for proprietary/IP reasons. Finally, the Duo3D has open-source drivers - 'nuff said.
I have no affiliation with either group.

One example: for the android emulator. (Maybe we can also get mpx then. And maybe we can finally get mpx support in mainstream window managers.)

I think it's nice such an advanced technology is coming to linux. I'm not sure where it'll really be useful since most linux programs aren't multi-input or gesture ready but I'm sure it might spark some innovation. Knowing the linux community, I'm sure something pretty interesting will come out of this.

Anyway, I think what they mean by targeting ubuntu 12.04 is at the libraries level. If it is supported by ubuntu then it should also work on debian and other derivatives of it if the library versions are compatible. Thats how steam started, and now it has been repackaged for other distros. Liked or not Ubuntu has become the platform of choice for companies to deliver.
I'm happy they are finally paying attention to Ubuntu. My issue with that is what happens to the rest of the Linux community in time. We've already been seeing all the changes that Conical has been making, and in return pissing off their own contributors who then leave. Is there going to be a time when Ubuntu turns into a completely unique OS and then we end up with Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, and Linux? What then, the Linux support we so asked for goes out the window because uninformed people think that Linux is Ubuntu, not that Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux.

Originally posted by migizi View PostSo I've held out on pre-ordering this thing because there was no eta on Linux support. Now they bring it but they shun any distro not based off Ubuntu. Is it going to be one of those issues where they don't allow repackaging or anything? I know Ubuntu is popular but only targeting one distro would be like building a Windows app that only installs on Windows XP unless you repackage it.
It feels like companies understand that there is a market for Linux but they don't understand Linux and just throw shit against a wall hoping it sticks and makes people happy.
Support is a tough area for a lot of companies - Linux is so diverse, it's pretty much impossible to claim universal support unless your code is part of the Linux kernel, and even then there will be edge cases. Cut them some slack - the product isn't even out yet.
