Between a Kinect and a LeapMotion. Primary aim is to be user natively with most OS, replaces a mouse. I don’t think it will be easy to hack.
Its a spin-out venture of a research lab you might have heard about: http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
Doing very-high speed motion and sensing for robotics
It’s not a lidar as we’re used to see, it doesn’t works with time of flight like the expensive one from Hokuyo or Sick. It works with a laser and a cmos camera with a very selective filter on the laser wave length. The range is calculated with triangulation from the view of laser dot point and the known gap between the CMOS sensor and the laser.
If you are interested in this kind of tools, @Xevelhacked the neato xv11 (robotic vacuum cleaner) range sensor. You find some documentation on the net to make it work, and you can buy as a cheap spare part of the robot (I bought one at 50€).
