Shaun, I know that our organization has already developed some interest in the new kinect and its potential uses. We, and I think many others in the ROS-Industrial community, would be interested in seeing this capability developed. If it is as well received as its predecessor, then it could be very exciting.

I am wondering if anybody is working on a driver. The best effort I can find is libfreenect2[2]. All other efforts I have seen rely on a bridging the kinect through a windows PC. It would be nice to have a native driver written for ROS/Ubuntu. I?d be interested to hear from anyone that is current working on a driver, or would be interested in supporting the development of one.
