Allaying fears that Microsoft's Kinect requires at least six feet of space in front of the television in order to properly function, Kinect Sports developer Rare have claimed that the issue has been blown out of proportion.
"The camera configures itself when you set it up," explains Rare's senior software engineer Nick Burton in a recent Eurogamer interview. "Now, obviously, if you've only got that much space [makes a small space between his hands] between your TV there's just not enough space for you to physically fit in the frame of the camera, so you need to stand back a little bit. But it's not like, 'Hey, look at me over here,' and you're in a massive living room. We live in England."
Kinect is still on track for a UK release on November 10th.
