We suspect for most people 6ft won’t be a problem, however 8ft probably will be. That sensor needs to be placed either below or above your TV, and you can say goodbye to the coffee table. To work properly, and effectively, you’ll need to be able to stand between 1.8m (6ft) and 2.4m (8ft) from the Kinect sensor. Your rooms are big, you’ll be fine. For Brits and Europeans however, you could find that the small flat or cute Victorian cottage that you are so fond of just isn’t big enough. We’ve been in many houses across your fine land and we have yet to see a lounge, or should we say “family room”, that wouldn’t take the Kinect. Now for Americans reading this, we don’t see this being a problem. But before we get to the bit about the theoretical possibilities, the bit about the actual experience, or the bit where you have to contort your body in more ways than you would probably like, we have to make sure you are aware of what could be the ultimate deal breaker. You see Kinect, for all its excitement, for all its uncertainty, and for all its “magic”, has one major flaw: you need a big lounge. You’re also not really sure whether you want a console that makes you shout at your TV either. You're not entirely sure whether or not you really want an accessory for your games console that will make you lie on the floor in your lounge. Then, we had the high profile announcement at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, and now on 4 November 2010 it goes on sale in the US, and just 6 days later (10 November) it goes on sale in the UK. Is it the dawn of a new era of gaming? Or merely a gimmick that will see Christmas dreams dashed? Read on to find out.
(Pocket-lint) - Microsoft Kinect first burst on to the scene as Project Natal over a year ago.
