Kinect v2 motion sensor
This is the camera/sensor for the Xbox One (e.g. ASIN#B00YT168WA). Microsoft has stopped manufacturing these, but you can find used ones through various distributors online. Make sure you get the v2, not the v1, or it won’t work.

Kinect adapter
This connects your Kinect to your PC (e.g. ASIN# B07LH1V4XP). Microsoft has stopped manufacturing these adapters, but all non-Microsoft brands are compatible. You can find them through online distributors.

TV or screen/projector
Screen size: the bigger, the better! Your TV or projector needs to have an HDMI port. If you only have a VGA input, you’ll need to use an HDMI to VGA adapter.
