homebrew-openni is a project for installing OpenNI, NITE, and Sensor module with Homebrew.

You can install these packages in Homebrew installing directory (default: /usr/local) by simple commands. Uninstalling is also easy. This project does not provide only Sensor module (sensor.rb) for Xtion and Xtion PRO LIVE but also SensorKinect module (sensor-kinect.rb) for Microsoft Kinect sensor. You can choose a proper module for your device.
