You can now use a Kinect module with Greenfoot. You can seea short video (and get all the info you need) here:

Using a Kinect with Greenfoot
Hello Mik,
I have been playing around with Greenfoot's Kinect Server and I think it does a good job at encapsulating the complicated world of OpenNi. Does it support multiple user tracking?
Never mind that, I was able to get it to calibrate and track multiple uses. I'm still not sure why I wasn't able to before.
Hi:
I'm trying to compile the kinectserver on Mac OSX. Am a newbie at this.
Tried...
>> configure; make; make install
And it fails on make.
Got the message: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
There are two files in the directory...
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tuesi, "./configure" should generate a file just called "Makefile". What output does it give?
@davmac: I don't see a Makefile, just the other two Makefiles with the .am and .in extensions.
I also looked at the config.log (output of the configure command, I believe) and see a failed steps in the log.
... this chunk is repeated many times...can't find ac_nonexistent.h...aptly named. :)
...
and also...

configure:15122: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 0.0.0
tuesi, I suspect the first "error" is actually just as it should be - that is, the script is testing that compiling a program which #includes a non-existent header does fail as it should.
The second error:
... is the real problem: you need the Boost libraries installed. (I'll grant there's little way you could have known this, other than looking at the configure output).
By the way: config.log is not the same as the configure output. The output from running "configure" is much more terse and in this case would probably have been much easier to understand.

We are planning to do a Mac OS X binary release with a program ready to run (maybe next week?). Unfortunately, this week I've only had access to Windows and Ubuntu machines, hence there's only proper instructions for Windows and Ubuntu -- but I didn't want to delay the release just because we hadn't released OS X yet. Currently, installation on Mac is only for the intrepid! You'll need to install things like Xcode and you'll need Boost and wxWidgets. If you're new at this, installing those libraries is a fairly steep learning curve into Unix-based development! So you might just be best to wait for our release. If you can't wait and really want to learn, here's a link about installing Boost and here's the best I could find for wxWidgets.
Thanks davmac and nccb for the info. I'm comfortable navigating the Unix environment. I think I'm going to wait because this week I'm busy working on other things. Looking forward to the Mac port. :)
