I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any good 3d camera alternatives to the Kinect for OSX.

As you guys already know drivers for the Kinect are not supported anymore for OSX. The Kinect2 is not supported at all. And although things work on the windows side, having to jump between OS environments is really impractical.

Unless something has changed (and please correct me if it has) it is only a matter of time before an OSX upgrade will break my performance environment.

So I was wondering if someone out there knows of a 3d camera that is comparable or better than the Kinect that is supported by OSX.

Unless something has changed (and please correct me if it has) it is only a matter of time before an OSX upgrade will break my performance environment.

kinect2 is excellent, much more stable and precise.

I don't think u will find anything similar .. and 5x 10x more expensive.

and it's not possible to have kinect2 running on a virtual win8 in osx or other system cos of usb3 stuff.

IMHO, kinect2 is a very mature tech compared with others gesture techs...

and that is worth to move on Win8 for my part.

And Max7 on Win8 is much faster and gives access to cheaper and better GL cards

Ive got to pass on win for this too .. after so many years of osX

The problem is that Max7 win version lack some new features like avf for fast video in openGL and other quirks and externals missing.

But finally i don't find Win 8.1 so bad.
