Cyberpyrot’s Xbox 360 voice recognition controller mod

Usually Engadget spots console modders adding a few LEDs to their boxen, squeezing in some extra memory or perhaps even changing a form factor altogether, but it’s rare to see these hackers actually hack in some original functionality. Cyberpyrot over at Acid Mods is taking this whole modding business to a whole new level with his voice recognition controller for the Xbox 360, which involves some heavy hacking and a bit of hardware kit wizardry to let you control the Halos with merely the sound of your voice. The current mod can handle 10 different voice commands, check out a video of it in action after the break.
