Hello there!

I understood from other posts and FAQ that Kinect V2 for Xbox is not supported due to incompatible connection type.

So.. That means Kinect for Windows v2 Sensor is supported? Please confirm.

Thanks.

Kinect 2 for Windows will be supported in iPi Mocap V3 coming out in a few days.
Microsoft also plans to release an adapter for using Kinect for XBOX One with PCs:

I have Kinect for windows v2 Sensor, But its not tracking when character is falling, Running, slip and fall back, Back flip. Any thing which have rotation its not working. Do I need more Kinect? how many I can add? Can I mix XBOX Kinect with window V2 Kinect? Or I need PS3 camera for rotational or 360 animation? plz guide me

Yes, you cannot track rotations and other complex motions with a single Kinect. You need at least 2 sensors for that (max 3 of Kinect 1 are supported).
However, currently only single Kinect 2 is supported due to limitations of Kinect SDK. We will add distributed recording feature later this year, so you will be able to record from multiple Kinect 2 with multiple PCs.
Kinect 2 cannot be mixed with Kinect 1 (neither for Window nor XBOX).

Hello,

We're encountering a problem with iPisoft3 in which the Kinect 2 cam does not remain connected, preventing proper capture. The latest Kinect SDK v. 1.8 is installed and drivers appear to be up to date. The PC has Windows 8.1 OS currently and also up to date.

At the moment, we are not able to get the Kinect cam 2 to show up anymore. However, we're able to see 2 Kinect 1 cams (connected to a USB 2.0 PCI) and record with them without a problem. To be clear, the Kinect 2 cam is connected to a separate USB 3.0 PCI on the same PC.

Kinect 2 requires Kinect SDK v2.0 to be installed.

Both SDKs can be installed side-by-side.

Ummm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuMRRDGrOe8

You dont need 2 kinects to get full 360 rotations.
