To use the Azure Kinect outdoors, I want to waterproof the front of the Kinect. However, when cover the front of the kinect with some materials like acrylic or glass, the depth sensor does not work.
Is there way or a specific material that allows sensors to operate even if the front of the kinect is covered?
Or, is it a model that can be waterproof without covering the front?

on the other hand, what is the temperature range that Azure kinect can withstand, if it is used outdoor?

    @duke-5366 Welcome to Q&A forums!

    Azure Kinect DK is intended for developers and commercial businesses operating under the following ambient conditions:

    Temperature: 10-25⁰Celsius
    Humidity: 8-90% (non-condensing) Relative Humidity

    It is meant for use in an ambient temperature range of 10-25⁰ Celsius. It measures just under 5 inches long and 1.5 inches thin. Learn more at azure.com/Kinect.

    Note:

    Use outside of the ambient conditions could cause the device to fail and/or function incorrectly. These ambient conditions are applicable for the environment immediately around the device under all operational conditions. When used with an external enclosure, active temperature control and/or other cooling solutions are recommended to ensure the device is maintained within these ranges. The device design features a cooling channel in between the front section and rear sleeve. When you implement the device, make sure this cooling channel is not obstructed.
