Hey,

I've ordered 2 xtions which arrive next week and I'm curious about the installation process.
Which drivers do I have to install to get the best possible performance?
On this page: http://docs.ipisoft.com/Depth_Sensors_Comparison
I can see on the bottom that you're hosting openni version 1.5.4.0 as well as sensor version 5.1.2.1.

Currently openni is available as version 2+, which requires a firmware update, wouldn't that be better?
Is there a new sensor version? I don't really know what that is, so I couldn't google for it.

I'm thankful for any information you guys have!

Hi
There is no mistake - you should use OpenNI 1.x with iPiRecorder.
OpenNI 2.x might provide some improvements. However, it has completely different API which requires some effort from us. But it seems worthless at the moment given the lack of OpenNI-enabled devices (Xtion and Carmine) and very uncertain future of OpenNI project itself (which has been abandoned by its original team since PrimeSense acquisition by Apple).

Also, pay attention to known compatibility issues with USB controllers in case you gonna use additional ones (not built-in motherboard).
