Kinect Room Setup HD Guide (Developer Diary #2) - Kinect for Xbox 360

According to Microsoft's Kinect Developers the above is not the best environment for Kinect. Ever wondered what you need to do with Kinect in order for it to work optimally?

For the optimal experience you want the camera in line with the middle of your TV and you want to put as much distance between you and the sensor, with the "ideal play space about six feet away", with another "three to four feet either side of you as well".

You'll also be required to clean your floor for Kinect's skeletal system to track you as accurately as possible, and you should try to make sure you have even lighting throughout the room.

@Skradis354 or you could just pile alot of books on the desk until its high enough for it to work well :)

@Skradis354 I don't know what your situation is, but the best solution would be:

1) try it in your home and see if it works

2) if it doesn't, buy a wall mount for Kinect or some other simple solution that works for you.

It'll work, either way :).

Good luck!
