Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
Kinect Glasses
Description
Add some a couple of lenses to your Kinect to vary the focal length, and increase the resolution. The lens holder slides in and out so you can set your degree of magnification. I use it in combination with reconstructMe for obtaining 3D models of objects.
My design path: ooml -> openscad -> stl -> printrBot

Instructions
0. Print out holderFlat.stl (3 parts to be put together).
1. Screw the horizontal bar to the main body (use nut).
2. Slide in the lens holder and maybe a set screw (should look like holderPutTogether.stl).
3. Put some el cheapo lenses from some reading glasses.
4. Clip onto your Kinect, and start using.

I think the glasses are +2.5 or +3 or so. Just some Wallmart specials. You will get distortion in the z-direction, depending on the size of you object. Check out Tbuser's (where I got the idea [should have mentioned earlier]) flickr for an example. http://www.flickr.com/photos/t... To be honest I have not used it much as my work is with larger objects and cannot tolerate the distortion well.
