Interesting, but I imagine casuals have big living rooms

how much will you need when multiplayering?

thats just the closest you can play it from your kenict

I'd guess:

                                                                                         TV

                                                                                           -

                                                                                         6ft

                                                                                           -

                                                          4ft   -  Player 2  -  4ft -  Player 1 - 4ft

lol, just measured my game room and from my tv to my couch i have 5 feet 8 inches. xD

More than enough room then

Seece how much room is it you think is needed?

I cba scavenging through that source, but if it's the 1.2m you are referring to - surely that's the closest point of your body.

So, unless you are going to be standing perfectly vertical and not moving forwards or backwards, you wil need more distance than that.

It works 4 - 11 ft.

thats a pretty big room

im in a igloo so i got space close to the above but theirs also big furniture in that space

id guess you can get by with less than 6ft from the kenict to urself the shorter you are but for taller folks it will need all it can get

Yes, but that's the closest point of your body 4ft away? Meaning in reality you need about 6ft.
