Revealed: Inside Xbox 360 Kinect

iFixit takes a look inside the Xbox 360 Kinect - where you are the controller. Amongst the components inside, they were able to play with: four microphones, two cameras and a motion detector chip.

Kyle Wiens, CEO of the company, exclaimed: "We haven't been this excited to get our hands on new hardware since the iPad. The way that we interact with computers is (finally) evolving, and Kinect is unlike any hardware we've ever taken apart."

The Prime Sense PS1080-A2 is what governs Kinect’s motion detection capability. Wiens explains: "Kinect is first generation hardware...it is mechanically quite complex. We were surprised at the number of thermal sensors and large, sturdy power connectors. Kinect was clearly designed by a team accustomed to designing large hardware like the Xbox."
