Microsoft pulls apart a Kinect camera, tickles your non-gaming fetish

in

Tease as much as you want, Sony, but things get real serious when you flip to the other side and look at the magic behind Microsoft's Kinect camera. Recently, T3 was able to get behind the scenes for a quick lesson on how this Xbox 360 peripheral works, and as part of the tour, it also saw the innocent sensor sitting bare naked in the lab. As you can see above, this little device actually has a lot to pack in -- namely the laser emitter and two IR VGA cameras for movement tracking, four downward-facing mics for voice recognition, a quiet motor stuffed inside the bulky base, and all the circuitry components to link them up. Head over to the source link for a detailed briefing -- but we all know you're just gonna go straight to the gallery of Redmond's naughty pics.
