Hi, is there any alternative for the kinect sensor which even have a Proc library? I based I a quite big application on it and after MS stopped Kinect I worry about further development of devices, support and availability.

I suppose that Intel RealSense SR300 will suit you in combination with [Artec](https://www.artec3d.com/3d-software/artec-studio) software or with any other professional program for 3d scanning. I’ve heard that ASUS Xtion is quite decent 3d sensor also.
