MAC / Kinect v2 + OpenNI 2 SDK + OpenKinect/libfreenect2

Hello,

I was actually wondering, why does it seem there is no solution for Mac user to have access to our fabulous Kinect v2 on Max, when I can simply get all the signals I want with the Libfreenect2 solution ?
https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2

Have you heard of something ?
As a student, and creative guy (not so into computing...) I really wish that I could use the Kinect for Interactive experiences !!
Please, come-up with an idea ?

Because Microsoft won't release a Mac version of the Kinect SDK.

Run Windows in bootcamp, get the dp.kinect2 external and be happy.

For sure they will not.
But if you have had a bit of interest for my question : mac users have been able since years to pass through it with OpenNI SDK.
Some people have even created good stuff on mac http://hidale.com/jit-openni/
But from now I can't go farther than reading all the informations of the kinect2 on my mac (see the attached picture)
