About the LEAP Motion controller

Hi I was wondering if anyone out there could answer this question. The LEAP Motion sensor has a range of 8 cubic feet. If you were to strap it around your chest, could you use it to track both of your arms and hands? I just watched the video that plays on their web page and it showed it's ability to "see" both hands at the same time and it also seemed to have decently low latency. You could run a long USB cable along with the one connected to the RIFT breakout box and seemingly have it track and render both of your arms AND hands in-game. 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 (perhaps give or take the LEAPs range being possible higher as it seems to be with the RAZER Hydra). Anyway I would like to hear another persons view on this.
