Totally, the Kinect was the first device I ever “hacked” with and really was what got me into programming. It’s a lot of fun to mess with to this day, when I last pulled mine out I was tinkering with full body tracking for SteamVR. It's too bad the K2 never got the same robust software platform since the hardware had some interesting capabilities, I recall the project I was working with said it had some advantages in the scanning range but the software was too unreliable to recommend it.

Is there anything like it available on the market new in box today? I recall the RealSense cameras seemed comparable but those are gone now.

Golly. I still do miss being about to navigate Netflix titles by just swiping my hand in either direction. That really felt like the future made real and now it’s been discontinued for years.
