It just seems to get worse and worse for Microsoft's upcoming motion-sensing camera Kinect.

Following on from reports suggesting that you'll need to stand up in order to use the device, and the revelation that significant space will be required for the camera to see you, it now appears that you - or your mum, at least - is going to have to dress a certain way if they want to 'jump in' with Kinect.

According to a report on TechRadar, a woman attempting to play Kinect Sports while dressed in a long skirt simply couldn't due to the device not being able to "see enough of her legs".

"Evidently you'll have to dress suitably to play Kinect."

Oh dear.

Considering Kinect's casual-friendly focus, this seems to be another blow for the device which has already been scrutinised by much of the industry for its apparent shortcomings.

Kinect launches on Xbox 360 this November. Don't bring a skirt.
