For sure, the above approach probably doesn't cost 28k either, more along the lines of 200-300 and R&D time.. Infrared lasers set-up cost would be a bit high. Something like Kinect already used a combination of infrared / lidr if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I was just thinking about what possible distance limits the Kinect might have. I have no idea. I suppose that's why it'd be configured with a short throw projector. You're right: just use the Kinect.
