[ros-users] Kinect as normal stereo cam?

Is it possible to use the kinect as a normal dual camera? I mean without infrared? I want to be able to swith between outside and inside...

If the outside daylight is too bright i can place a manual filter with a servo in front of the camera's.

I need a cheap stereo setup that will work in any condition but i can't afford a laser scanning rangefinder. I am now using 2 microsoft HD-5000 camera's
