今天,在瀏覽OpenNIGoogle群組時發現一個有趣的文章:Is the development of OpenNI dead? (原帖地址: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/openni-dev/6EiO_pjHsPs )
因為OpenNI距離上一次更新已經有6個月之久了,一個耐不住寂寞的傢伙跑了出來發布了一篇質疑性的文章,從而引發了一片討論。
有人說PrimeSense公司迫於微軟的壓力放棄了OpenNI,也有反對的聲音,最後還是官方發布的一條訊息終止了這次大討論,官貼如下:
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 talking about a major update, with an incoming announcement few weeks away from today. In addition - Primesense and many 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.
原來Primesense公司正在醞釀一個“大陰謀”,major update 意味著什麼呢?major update意味著openni 2.0的到來,看來OpenNI對微軟SDK的反擊要馬上開始了。如果不出意外的話,新版本將會在聖誕節之前發布。
希望這一切趕在2012之前到來。
