Why are there black shadows in the depth image?
Can optical polarization (or other tricks) be used to combine two Kinect sensors viewing the same scene from different angles?
Unfortunately, polarization is not generally preserved when reflecting off an object. Special surfaces can be used that preserve polarization, but the concept of tagging each Kinect's IR field by polarizing the light does not appear to be feasible. Initial tests using two simultaneous Kinect sensors suggest that they may not severely interfere with one another. Depth image from two Kinects related mailing-list discussion
