It works!

After converting the Xbox webcam to see IR light, I placed it under the table and turned the LEDs on. To my surprise it worked straight away! I’ve made a small video of the FTIR table working.

Xbox 360 Webcam Infra Red Conversion

Today my Xbox 360 Live Vision camera arrived. I chose this camera because it basically works on Mac OS X with a good frame rate. After testing that it worked in iChat, I pulled out my screwdriver and set to work converting the camera to see infra red.

Instructions:

1. Unscrew the focus ring past the focus stop and remove the lens assembly so it is separate.

   

2. With a flat head screwdriver gently pry the case apart until the case is unsnapped. The front case will then come off and you will see the PCB attached to the other half.
