If you ever doubted that Microsoft’s Kinect was formed upon PrimeSense record, you can leave those suspicions at a door — iFixit’s separated the twin-eye suit intuiting camera into the constituent parts, and there’s definitely PrimeSense silicon upon board. To be accurate, there’s a PrimeSense processor which handles images from a tone and infrared CMOS auto-focus imagers, a Marvell SoC to interface with those cameras, 512Mb of DDR2 memory as well as 8Mb of peep and an accelerometer of all things. (Perhaps diversion developers intend to mangle a fourth wall when you inevitably hit a section off your TV.) Filled with four dissimilar kinds of confidence screws and the fair bit of glue, Kinect’s the difficult bulb to moment. Seems like a small price to pay, however, when it’s so wonderfully robotic underneath. Oh, as well as vocalization of the Kinect — don’t suspect you’ve read the full review?
