We are delighted to share some good news: we have released the new Motioncube Player version 2.8.3.0.
This update not only brings numerous improvements and enhanced stability but also introduces a few exciting new features:
1. Support for the Orbbec Astra 2 camera
Together with the existing support for Orbbec Astra 1, we now cover a wide range of depth cameras. You can now use:
(a) Orbbec Astra 2
(b) Orbbec Astra 1 (Pro, Pro Plus)
(c) Intel RealSense V2 (e.g. D435f)
(d) Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One (Kinect V2)
(e) Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 (Kinect V1)
(f) other cameras supported by OpenNI
2. Automatic depth camera calibration during operation
We have resolved the issue of instability in Orbbec depth cameras (especially during the first few minutes after start-up) thanks to our proprietary techniques for continuous detection parameter tuning. This means you can use these cameras in installations that run unattended for extended periods.
3. Support for new languages
With 30 regional languages now supported, Motioncube is more accessible than ever in various countries, particularly where English is not yet widely taught in schools.
Check the current translation status for your language at https://motioncube.io/en/language-support.

4. Support for table-based interactions using QR tiles for the "Go Lumi! Magic Cards" application
In the latest version of Motioncube, we have introduced recognition of binary codes placed on a table. This feature allows you to control applications using graphic symbols printed on cardboard tiles.
See the first application to use this technology: Go Lumi! Magic Cards.
5. New application filtering panel
There are now more than 560 applications available in Motioncube. To help you find what you need, you can filter them by:
(a) thematic category, (b) age group, (c) number of players, (d) type of interaction (control method),
and you can also browse through various collections.
