Researchers at the University of Bristol have successfully freed Microsoft's Kinect depth-of-Field Sensor from wire limitations by developing a battery-powered, use independent Wi-Fi communication units to improve the portability of Kinect. As part of this patina program, this device includes a Linux board computer gumstix to connect to the Kinect sensor and generate computation results that can be output to mobile devices. You can see the following Demo Video, the output information is displayed on Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

According to a description blog of this product, its independent unit can only be used with Microsoft's Kinect sensor at present, and most of the processing is performed by a self-made circuit board. In addition, these researchers have published the design of circuit boards in cadsoft Eagle and Gerber formats on the Internet. Therefore, hackers who are interested can print their own circuit boards and build similar devices with other necessary components. The Demo Video is as follows:
