Only yesterday was I talking to a friend of mine about their complications arising from the space required by the XBox Kinect to function properly. This may be the solution for your problems. I only came across it a minute ago, however the company Nyko, a developer of third party peripherals for many consoles both current-gen and previous gen (Having been around since 1995) have just released the (Kinect) Zoom. The claims about this product are below:
Decrease the space needed to play your favorite Kinect games with Nyko’s Zoom for Kinect. The Zoom reduces the play range required to enjoy Kinect software by up to 40%, allowing you to play closer to your TV. Zoom’s wide angle lens also enables two people to play in an area normally only suitable for a single player making it ideal for those in smaller apartments or dorm rooms. Specially designed optical lenses fit over the Kinect sensor and clip into place making set up a breeze with nothing to plug in. No additional software or calibration is required. The design of the Zoom blends seamlessly with the look and feel of the Kinect. The Zoom opens up a whole new world of Kinect play to those who previously lacked the space required to fully enjoy it.
Looking at some of their other technology, they seem to have some interesting stuff so I am curious to see how effective this is first hand. The website claims it is available starting from the 13th of September, however Play-asia.com already seem to be selling the product which can be found at this link HERE.
