Would a darkened room really impact Kinect? I thought it used active pulses of IR to sense people, not passive reception of visible light.

Maybe there were some confounding sources of IR confusing the system, like how incandescent light bulbs confuse a wiimote. Perhaps multiple Kinects set up in the same area confuse the hell out of each other?
