Warning; Adequate Space For Playing - Microsoft Xbox 360 Manual

adeQuate SPaCe For PLaYinG

The Kinect sensor needs to be able to see you, and you need room to move. The sensor can
see you when you play approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the sensor. For two people, you
should play approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) from the sensor.
Play space will vary based on your sensor placement and other factors. See your game's
instructions for more information about whether it requires only part of the sensor play space.

Warning

Make sure you have enough space
to move freely while playing
Gameplay with your Kinect sensor may
require varying amounts of movement.
Make sure you won't hit, run into, or trip
over other players, bystanders, pets,
furniture, or other objects when playing.
If you will be standing and/or moving
during gameplay, you will also need
good footing.
Before playing:
• Look in all directions (right, left,
forward, backward, down, and up) for
things you might hit or trip over.
• Make sure your play space is far
enough away from windows, walls,
stairs, etc.
• Make sure there is nothing you might
trip on—toys, furniture, or loose rugs,
for example. Also, be aware of
children and pets in the area. If
necessary, move objects or people
out of the play space.

• Don't forget to look up. Be aware of
light fixtures, fans, and other objects
overhead when assessing the play space.
While playing:
• Stay far enough away from the
television to avoid contact.
• Keep enough distance from other
players, bystanders, and pets. This
distance may vary between games, so
take account of how you are playing
when determining how far away you
need to be.
• Stay alert for objects or people you
might hit or trip on. People and
objects can move into the area during
gameplay, so always be alert to your
surroundings.
Make sure you always have good
footing while playing:
• Play on a level floor with enough
traction for game activities.
• Make sure you have appropriate
footwear for gaming (no high heels,
flip flops, etc.) or are barefoot, if
appropriate.
