I am having trouble finding a voice control solution that will scale to a large home, but I think CastleOS might work. I am thinking of having 10 or 11 Kinects ceiling mounted throuout the house using USB over CAT6 run to the home server. Has anyone else done a similer implentation? |

CastleOS does support this with the version 1 of the Kinect. For version 2, due to bandwidth requirements, you'll have to have dedicated mini PCs at each end location.
Note that on the back end, you'll need a USB bus for each Kinect, and the lower cost adapters that don't provide the full USB 2.0 bandwidth will not work.
Great. So if I went the mini PC route, how would they all integrate together?
When you say USB bus, you mean something like this? https://www.startech.com/support/PEXUSB3S2E2I PCIe slots are limited, and I think only 1 port could be used on each device, correct? Is there a way to get a single card that can support two or more Kinects, or a way to do this with active powered USB hubs?
Thank you! |
