Somatosensory world: openni is about to release major updates!

Today, I found an interesting post on the openni Google group: is the development of openni dead? (Original post address: https://groups.google.com/forum? Fromgroups = #! Topic/openni-dev/6eio_pjhsps)

Since openni was six months away from the last update, an uncertain lonely guy ran out and published a suspicious post, which caused a discussion.

Some people say that primesense gave up openni due to pressure from Microsoft, and there was an opposition. In the end, a message officially published ended the discussion. The official post is as follows:

Dear all,

Several core members of the openni community, including primesense, are currently working very hard to improve openni Based on feedbacks expressed by developers over the last 2 years. We're re talking about a major update, with an incoming announcement few weeks away from today.In addition-primesense and specify new primesense clients are working to release new devices. we understand you impatience, hardware production cycles are very long, and processes are very secret... but several generations and types of sensors are already in the pipeline. you will not be disappointed! Thank you for your motivation, stay tuned for more news very soon! The openni team.

In the past, primesense was brewing a "big conspiracy". What does major update mean? Major Update indicates the arrival of openni 2.0. It seems that openni's counterattack against Microsoft SDK is about to begin. If nothing happens, the new version will be released before Christmas.

We hope this will come before 2012.
