OpenNI is a framework for getting data to support 'Natural Interaction', i.e. skeleton tracking, gesture tracking, and similar ways of getting data from humans. OpenNI provides the interface for physical devices and for middleware components. The API enables modules to be registered in the OpenNI framework, which then produce sensory data. OpenNI also allows selection of different hardware and middleware modules.

This package provides a number of related utilities for debugging, testing, and view the results of the sensor modules.
