I have one to do mocap, you can use ipi studio with it.
One bit of advice, if you're serious about mocap you will need two, one for the front and another in side view, besides some space to move.
The good is that it works, and compared to multi thousand dollars setups, is the trully povertyfag solution.
There's nothing better you will get for a similar price.

The bad, I've found is that results are cumbersome at least, I only have one and found when the body blocks one limb the software just dont know what to do and sometimes the limbs would get stuck in random positions when this happens.
Didnt do much because you need in the end acting skills as well.
Not a magic bullet because you need to later clean up the movement and real life movement is too "boring" if you plan on doing some cartoon anime one.

Think more like drawing on pen and paper and the kinect is the scanner, you will need to clean up anyway in the end.
Also, is not good for small ingame actions because humans are too slow and is hard as fuck to make a human loop IRL (again solved by editing and cleaning the mocap).

It's a fine tool if you're a povertybro.
I dont use it because there's not linux mocap solution for it.

Can you use 360 Kinect or only Xbox One? I still have 360 Kinect buried somewhere.

needs a PC usb conector, but I think you can use both in ipi studio.

There also might be projects like:
https://github.com/zju3dv/EasyMocap
If you can get several synced webcams.
I'm not sure if the non-commercial license extends to the mocap data itself though.

they work okay but you need some interpolation if you don't want choppy data

The 360 Kinect is useless for mocap. The Xbox ONE Kinect sensor is a different story. iPi Soft is a genuinely good program for basic ass motion capture. You need 3-4 sensor for a good setup. The issues is that the software itself is too expensive at $2k for the license. For around the same price you can get a Rokoko mocap suit. I've emailed the devs about this but they refuse to change their pricing

Are there any "Open Source" alternatives, or is this our chance to make "OpenKinect" or something?

Kinect 360 is basically the third world/poverty fag mocap solution.

Works very great for beign that.

Have you tried not being lazy and instead doing traditional keyframe animation?

There are a handful of programs on GitHub. Honestly they are all ass. You will be spending more time with setup and touching up the animation than you would have spend manually animating.
