Will Kinect v2 support multiple sensors?

Question

Working with multiple Kinect v1 sensors is very difficult due to infrared interference between the sensors.

Based on what I read in this article of the gamastura , Microsoft got rid of the interference problem with the time-of-flight mechanism that the Kinect v2 sensor uses to measure depth.

Does this mean that I can use several Kinect v2 sensors at the same time, or did I misunderstand the article?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

I personally asked this question in the development team at a meeting in San Francisco in April. I got the answer:

" 3+ . Single-Kinect Kinect."
