We've finally found the Kinect's eyes.

Two cameras and an IR projector.

Left: (IR CMOS) Microsoft / X853750001 / VCA379C7130

Center: (Color CMOS) VNA38209015

Right: (IR Projector) OG12 / 0956 / D306 / JG05A

This picture is of the device upside down, so these labels are swapped from what you would see looking at the Kinect.

These are not tiny, cell-phone cameras— they're closer to the camera you might find in a webcam, with large lenses and autofocus.

We can't independently confirm the resolution of the cameras yet, but Microsoft claims that the infrared cam is 320x240 and the RGB cam is 640x480.
