Best Placement for Xbox Kinect

Let's face it, this new generation of motion sensor controlled gaming environments is pretty much the coolest thing that ever happened to the video game industry. As they gain in popularity and continue to show up in consumers living rooms, generally the first question asked during setup is how to best position the sensory camera for best performance. Xbox suggests that the Kinect sensory camera be placed between 2 and 6 feet from the floor and the ideal playing space be between 6 and 10 feet from the camera. Here in lies a bit of a problem. I have noticed that the closer a sensory camera is to the floor the farther back you need to stand from that camera. So if you were to put your Xbox Kinect on the television stand right in front and below the screen the sensory camera may not be as responsive if you stand too closely. The obvious solution is to just move further back but a second problem arises which is that most people don't have the room in their living spaces to be 9 to 10 feet away from their televisions with out standing on their furniture. So a solution to this problem is to simply raise the Kinect sensory camera to a higher position and in doing this the playing space becomes closer to the camera. The best and most inexpensive way to achieve this is by purchasing a bracket that allows you to place components like this up above your television. It's a quick and easy solution to the problem. The Center Stage Bracket is an exceptional product and they make a great little mounting bracket for the Xbox Kinect and Sony PlayStation Move. Frankly, it is the most universal bracket on the market and the price point is great!
