Natal can calculate where the player’s hand is even if its hidden behind their back.

Put your hand behind your back, spin it around and make your own conclusions about the validity of this PR...

Oh, and 50 MB? If it occupies that in RAM, that's quite a lot, about 20% of RAM gone.

 

The algorithms are said to be quite advanced.  It should be relatively easy for them to use your arm shape/direction to determine the location of your hand behind your back.  Probably not as exact as if the hand was visible, but fairly close.

I don't know about your arm, but mine doesn't change shape when I rotate my hand.

Sure, it can pretend your hand is always parallel to your arm. But I'd hardly call that "calculating", more like "assuming".
