openni 2 support

[max-mapper]

Heya Pedro - do you know how hard it would be to upgrade to OpenNI SDK 2?

also I wonder why they stopped using github http://github.com/openni/openni

@maxogden Any v2-specific feature / correction you'd like to see? It looks like this version is lower-level, only supporting video and depth. I think it leaves stuff like skel tracking to middleware providers like Nite2, which is not open-sourced. This still looks too fresh, so I think I should keep an eye on this for now and revisit this issue later.

@maxogden any input?

oh interesting, I am ignorant about the details actually

This seems to summarize the changes well, sounds like it would require a full overhaul, but would be easier to build. Also now supports asynchronous frame retrieval! I would love to have depth access, which your current version doesn't provide, and if dealing with point clouds, it seems like an async model would be the way to go: http://www.openni.org/openni-migration-guide/

Before bothering with OpenNI2 support, I'd encourage the tweaks needed to support multi-user tracking!

@flyswatter it should support multi-user now, what problems are you encountering? If any, could you please open a new issue?
