Here is a cool in-depth look at whats inside an Xbox 360 Kinect. The design of the Kinect is pretty cool with the multiple boards and the microphone array. A lot of complicated programing must have gone into such a complicated device. There are three cameras/sensors in the Kinect. Their is a infrared projector and recover and a color camera. The infrared projector sends out infrared light, then is reflected off the players and objects in the room, and picked up by the inferred recover. becouse of that the Kinect can pick up the players movements, and then processes them into the game.
