Kinect Reviews Making You Think Your Living Room Is Too Small? Relax!

By Ziggy Londono

Many recent Kinect reviews raised a few common concerns about the conditions required to play Kinect. They include the distance players must stand away from the Kinect sensor. The need for a clean room. And the need to stand to play.
Based on a leaked copy of the Kinect manual, it appears Microsoft is recommending users stand 6 to 8 feet away from the Kinect sensor. This seems to have caught many off guard. And many feel it is unreasonable. The average person doesn't have that kind of room available.

The good news is, it turns out Kinect works just fine with players as close as 5 feet away. The reviews raising the red flag are referring to the recommendation, not actual hands on experience. The 6 to 8 feet appears to just be what Microsoft is suggesting as the optimal setup. It isn't a prerequisite.

Also, trying to play Kinect in less than 5 feet of space is most likely a safety hazard. Playing Kinect games involves using your entire body. But your focus is squarely on your TV screen. If you are in less space and are flailing away with your arms and legs, you are going to hit something or someone inadvertently. Player safety and their liability probably explains Microsoft's 6 to 8 foot recommendation in the Kinect manual more than any technical limitation of the Kinect sensor itself.

Also, Kinect is a social gaming experience. More than any other platform it is going to emphasize multi-player games. So you are going to need room for each player to move around and for players watching. A room with less than 5 feet of game play space is probably not going to cut it.

Another common and related issue raised in recent reviews is the need to clean your floor to play. But to me this is a non-issue. Obviously, from a safety point of view Microsoft is going to recommend you clean up your floor before jumping around playing Kinect. But it turns out there is also a technical reason. When Kinect first starts up, it tilts down to the floor to find the floor plane. It relies on the floor plane as a point of reference for skeleton tracking. So a clean floor allows the most accurate tracking. But, the Kinect sensor is very intelligent and will still work if you have a messy floor. It just won't work optimally.

Shortly after the E3 show when Kinect was announced, people began to realize players were always standing in every Kinect demo. And Microsoft had to admit that yes, you had to stand to play Kinect. But, when it became clear it was a concern, Microsoft got to work. Kinect got a software update and now it can track seated players. So far all the announced games require players to stand. But now game developers have the option to develop games for seated players.

Overall, these are all modest issues. The distance requirement could well be an issue in European and Asian countries with smaller average living spaces. But on the whole, it shouldn't discourage interested gamers. Tidying up the floor to play is actually a reasonable requirement. And with Kinect tracking seated players, the standing issue is resolved. All in all, Microsoft must be feeling pretty good about Kinect with these among the main issues raised with Kinect to date.

5英尺也能玩 折合1.524m

这篇文章要说的就是微软让你6到8英尺，只是最佳距离，并且是出于人性化考虑（例如在这个区间内玩游戏最舒适，不会影响到和你一块儿玩的和旁边观看的人，也不会踢到家具），而不是技术层面。

5 feet 无法识别头和脚，已经试过了
两个人玩的话，两米半是最佳距离

蹦蹦跳跳的，至少也要2米5见方的空间，才不会容易受伤

近来的啃奶评论中有很多基友对使用条件需求十分关心。 比如： 基友必须和啃奶保持一定距离， 使用空间相对开阔， 必须站着啃奶之类的。。 从说明书（泄漏版）看来，巨硬建议玩家站在距离啃奶6到8英尺的地方。这个条件让诸多基友始料未及啊， 很多人感觉很莫名，因为大多数人的房间大小达不到这个要求。。

当然我是给大家带来好消息的， 实际上啃奶只需玩家站在5英尺以外（这是几米？）就行。这个消息对否决了巨硬的建议， 因为这个建议多少有些不切合实际。 所以6-8英尺仅仅只是一个可选的建议，而不是最低要求。

当然，如果你打算在5英尺之内啃奶多多少少会有些安全危机。 玩啃奶游戏需要你全身配合， 而且你的注意力只会集中在电视那一块空间之内。 当你距离过近并且挥舞四肢，很容易会无意间打到别的东西。 所以巨硬在说明书中注明让你站在更远的距离是为了安全考虑，而非完完全全的技术因素。

当然啃奶不是给宅男一个人玩的，它比其他平台的游戏更多的讲求多人共同体验。所以你更需要一个开阔的空间来让大家一起啃奶。小于5英尺的游戏空间当然不满足上述初衷。

另外一个讨论众多的问题是你必须把地板打扫干净。当然这对我不是问题。 很显然，巨硬让你面对啃奶又蹦又跳之前最好清理一下地面也是为了让你啃起来更加安全更加***。 与此同时这也基于一定的技术考虑，当啃奶第一次启动时，他会向地面倾斜以扫描确定地面的位置（高低），用这个位置来作为捕捉玩家动作的基础参照。 所以如果你的地上没有杂物无疑会让有助于啃奶更加精确的捕捉玩家动作。其实还有一个秘密，即便地上有杂物啃奶仍然会智能的进行分析得到更为精确的结果，但毕竟在精度上会有所缺失

（后面一段是讲E3时只能站着玩，后来微软做了update现在坐在那有些游戏也可以玩啦）
然后又把啃奶乱夸一遍结束。。
