Xbox 360 Kinect on the infrared spectrum

This is what the xbox 360 Kinect looks like when you take off the infrared filter on your camera. Night Vison enabled cameras use infrared light to light up a dark room without disturbing your eyes just as the Kinect does, so we can observe part of how the Kinect works. The left lens produces an infrared laser grid onto the room and the right lens pick up these dots to figure out relative depth. The center lens is a regular camera for video chat and pictures.

Wonder what a mirror looks like to the kinects, like a portal or void? O_o

[NickInTimeFilms]

@toolarmysniper Yeah, basically it's just like a portal with the reflected surface actually reversed and extended back out. quite weird actually. there is a video of this somewhere, but not on my account.

[toolarmysniper]

Its like mapping the layout of the room and you that's crazy makes u wonder if big brother is watching. Ò_Ó

[NickInTimeFilms]

@toolarmysniper *disconnects internet cord* ahhh, much better now. wait.... what about the wifi? fuuuuuu

Do you see any red light where the ir led is? I see red light coming from the same area the ir leds are mounted inside the Kinect. Mutant eyes hooray!

[NickInTimeFilms]

@scythe515 Yeah, it's faint but still slightly detectable. It's probably kind of powerful so it's not too hard to notice. Thing likes remotes though are completely invisible though
