The Kinect was a real boon for robotics research. A depth camera that worked pretty well, with skeleton extraction and directional audio? And the price is what!? My lab still uses a first gen Kinect regularly.

Thanks to Jamie Shotton and the team for a sensor that made a difference to an incidental community.
