About OpenNI
OpenNI has shown some lights to natural interactions by using depth map images together with RGB images from cameras. Natural human gestures, e.g. hand moving, limbs movements are all being developed fast. Microsoft Kinect is a typical example that demonstrated the huge potential of the OpenNI in terms of game applications. While, more work could be done with OpenNI, with other devices that could capture depth images, e.g. ASUS’s Xtion pro. In the OpenNI community supported by manufacturers e.g. Primesense, Microsoft and Asus more information could be found in openni.org.
