I had both the original Kinect (xbox 360) and then Xbox One Kinect. I found that I was able to find a lot more libraries and projects around the original Kinect. Sadly, I misplaced the original 360 Kinect when I moved to a new house and have never been able to find it. I still have the xbox one Kinect. But it seems that there isn't lot of of development done around it. Even though it had more sensors and had better imaging.

I had the same frustration, I converted my Xbox One model into a webcam during Covid when high-end cameras were at a premium, but other than a head tracker for video games, never got anything else interesting going with it.

We built number of projects with the Xbox 360 one back in the day, fun toy.
