Things used in this project

Hardware components

Xbox One Kinect
Microsoft has discontinued the Xbox Kinect line, but you can buy used Xbox One Kinects on eBay for $30 or so. There's also other 3D depth sensors available like Intel Realsense.
×1
FT232R USB UART IC
You could replace this with an Arduino.
×1
ATMEGA328P
You could replace this with an Arduino.
×1
SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711
SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711
There are cheaper generic HX711 alternatives available on Amazon and eBay.
×4
Computer with USB 3.0
If you use Microsoft's Kinect for Windows V2, any computer that runs Windows 10 and has USB 3.0 should work, though you might get better performance on computers with better processors. If you use libfreenect2 instead, Mac OS X and newer Linux distributions should work. You can also probably use an enbedded computer like an ODroid XU4 (haven't tested this yet, but have read research papers that used these)
×1
Load Cell (Generic)
Any compression load cells that can handle 0-150lbs each should work. There are cheap ones on eBay. I ended up salvaging load cells from a used Nintendo Wii Balance Board.
×4

Software apps and online services

Microsoft Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 (Alternatively, OpenKinect)
An alternative open-source solution would be libfreenect2 which is part of the OpenKinect project https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2.
Google Cloud Text-To-Speech API
You can use any text-to-speech API or just record your own voice!

Hand tools and fabrication machines

3D Printer (generic)
3D Printer (generic)
You don't really need one because all I printed was a mount for the Kinect sensor. I may eventually make an enclosure for all of this which may require a 3D printer.
Miter Saw
If you want to make a wooden frame, you may want a miter saw to make cutting the wood easier. You don't really need a frame if you just rest the Kinect on a hip-level object like a table.
