About the LEAP Motion controller

This might be an issue for someone with crazy long arms but I am around 5'10" and my arms rotate around a space quite close to 8 cubic feet
You have arms like a tyrannosaurus? :)
The 8 cubic feet volume of the leap motion is in a roughly (according to the leap motion forum) 150 degree hemisphere above the device with a range of around 20 inches. (50.8cm)
Ya I hadn't read that on their site. I was figuring an 8 cubic feet space was around 2 feet out and all around from the source (to the front, or above the sensor). I grabbed my trusty tape measure and set it to 2 feet starting from the center of my chest, outstretched my arm (as the other was holding the tape measure) and went straight out, to the side and up. Straight out my arm was around the end of the tape and up and to the side my arm went slightly further then the tape measure. Anyway I thought it would be an interesting method to look into... Apparently you do not... lol. :D
