Supercharging the ASUS Xtion PRO Live and other OpenNI-compliant depth cameras
ASUS introduced the Xtion PRO Live in 2012 as an input device for motion-controlled games, natural user interfaces (NUIs), and computer vision research. It is one of six similar cameras based on sensors designed by PrimeSense, an Israeli company that Apple acquired and shut down in 2013.
