How much space do I need to play Kinect?

I want Kinect but I'm a little worried that I don't have enough space in my bedroom for it to see me entirely (which is where my 360 is). About how far away do you need to be in order to fit your whole body in the frame? Before you ask, I'm 5'11" 192lbs, athletic build.

You need to be around 2 metres (6-8 foot)from the Kinect unit/TV

over 9000 square milimeters

As much room as possible. The higher you mount the Kinect, the better too, that will shorten the distance a little bit. I have to mount my Kinect 2 feet off the floor, so it has to see farther out, all the way to 8 feet. But i did a experiment and temporarily mounted it above my tv, about 5 ft, and it shortened the distance to about 6 feet.

probablly enough room to jump around and stuff!

we had to rearrange our living room. now when we want to play we just scoot the couch back. it requires quite a bit of room. We usually have about 9 ft and 15 feed on our sides.
