New Version of the Kinect (for Xbox One) Driver and the 3D Scan app

Driver installed, all new features work for me.

There could be a Kinect startup bug that exploits when computer is turned on and boot completes (fast startup is disabled via control panel).

In this scenario, maybe the Kinect camera does not startup in time, so windows hello advises on lock screen to instead login with PIN.

However, after swiping up the lock screen, the login screen now requires the PIN but it also includes the windows hello option (maybe Kinect HW has now started up successfully???) and, if activated, windows hello works!!!

It just looks like as a slow Kinect HW startup or that windows hello, looking for a camera, gives up too soon.

Matias,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you give us more detail as to what is happening with your scans with the new driver and 3D Scan app?

Are you having lower geometry resolution, lower texture resolution, or incomplete scans that lose object detail?

With more detail we will be able to help you troubleshoot better.

Thanks!

Hi, this is a scan with the older version.and this is with the new one.

Matias,

It looks like you need to adjust your 'Depth' setting.

One of the big upgrades we gave to the new version of the scan app was to add a live preview. Before you start scanning you can see what the Kinect sees. Everything that is in color the Kinect sees, and when the scan starts, the scan will collect data on anything that is in color. Everything that is gray will not show up in your scan.

What you can do is hold up your hand and slowly move it away from the Kinect. When your hand turns gray, that is how far (how deep) the Kinect will see (and collect data). Adjust your depth until your hand turns gray a little bit past what you want to scan.

Make sure you don't set the depth too high, because if the Kinect sees the wall, or other stationary objects behind you, it might ruin your scan.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks!

thanks! I was able to do a better scan. I depend a lot on finding the right light to get good frame rates. I still think the resolution is not as good as the previous one. Can I control the scanner resolution? I am using a macbook pro (bootcamp) 16gb ram, i7, AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2T memory.

Thanks!

In the new version of 3D Scan the resolution is internally set to full. We haven't exposed the setting to the user yet, but will consider adding it in the future.

Thanks for your feedback!

You're welcome. I Usually scan a little below the maximum resolution for better frame rates. I´ll keep in touch

Thanks!

UPDATE: I fixed my issue. The app didn't have access to the camera in my camera privacy settings.

Hey. I have the latest driver, which is the same version as pictured above, but the app cannot connect to the sensor. Other kinect apps detect it fine.
