Xbox One Max Viewing Distance for New Kinect - ?

[shutdown]

Hi all,

First post here. Sorry if this has been addressed before, I tried searching but did not see anything.

In all the excitement of the upcoming launch, I am trying to figure out how to arrange by basement for the new Kinect. My couch is about 16 feet away from the TV and was wondering if the Kinect will be able to see me to utilize the motion controls. Anyone know of the max viewing distance? I have a hunch no one knows yet, as I cannot find the answer on Google either.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you very much. I did see that one but wasn't sure if it was anything confirmed due to the date of the article. Although, I imagine it is probably correct.
