Creative Senz3D

Hi,

I'm purchasing a Creative Senz3D for 3D apps development.  I want to confirm if RealSense SDK is compatible with Creative Senz3D.  Please advise.

Regards,

It is not compatible.

In that case, what SDK should I be using if I have a Senz3D?

Creative Senz3D camera would work with Intel Perceptual Computing (PerC) SDK 
(RealSense was previously known as Perceptual Computing). 
Previously you can get Perceptual Computing SDK from 
    https://software.intel.com/en-us/perceptual-computing-sdk 
but, as you may see, it has been permanently removed now.

Intel recommend developers to upgrade to RealSense SDK and the new RealSense 3D camera,
though that we may still work with Senz3D camera and PerC SDK.

You can try to get Perceptual Computing SDK from:
http://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/3993/intel_pc_sdk_offline_package_t_1.8.13842.0.exe

If I were you, I would keep a local copy of that installer, or update to the RealSense SDK, as Intel clearly does not want to keep supporting the previous Perceptual Computing SDK.

Yup, updating to RealSense SDK would be more recommended.

If you need any further information or discussion regarding PerC SDK you can go to Intel Perceptual Computing SDK forum at
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-perceptual-computing-sdk
It seems that the forum is still active too.

I think that the RealSense Camera is better overall compared to the previous Senz3D, and it will definitely get more updates in the future. Is there any reason for using the previous camera and not the current one?. Just curious...
