How Much Room Will You Need For Natal?

Ever since last E3 when Microsoft first showed off project Natal I always wondered just how much room will you need to, you know, actually play the damn thing?

Well thanks to Techflash we finally know.

To be precise, you’ll want to clear an area extending at least 4 meters (a little more than 13 feet) away from the television. That’s the back edge of the space to be taken into account by the Natal sensors. In terms of width and height, the field of vision naturally expands as it moves from the Natal device to that back edge, ending up a little more than 4 meters wide and 2.7 meters high (about 8 feet, 10 inches).

Those were among the tidbits passed along by representatives of the Natal team during a briefing for a group of reporters and bloggers Monday on the company’s Redmond campus. The session was part of a day-long technology discussion held by Craig Mundie, the company’s chief research and strategy officer.

So in other words its going to be no use if you live anywhere other than the US as we mainly have smaller houses in the rest of the world.
