Additional Utilities

OpenNI has a framework, allowing:

• Portability over various architectures and operating systems.
• A USB access abstraction layer (provided with a driver for Microsoft Windows)
• Some basic data types (like list, hash, etc.)
• Log and Dumps system
• Memory and Performance profiling
• Events (allowing callbacks to be registered to a specific event)
• Scheduling of tasks

Those utilities are also available to any application using OpenNI. OpenNI guarentees backwards compatibility for this framework (up to a certain extent, as opposed to OpenNI actual API, which guarentees full backwards compatibility).
