Setting Up Your LeapMove

Need more help with positioning the camera and setting up your room?

Room Preparation

Make sure there is enough room to play! Clear the area of furniture, so the player can stand 6 feet or 1.8 meters back from the TV and have 5 feet or 1.5 meters on either side of themselves free to move side to side.

LeapMove should be 6 ft from the user and 5 ft on either side from any objects.

LeapMove Placement

LeapMove can be placed directly under the TV or mounted on top using the built-in clip.

LeapMove works best when it's placed 2 to 6 feet or 0.6 to 1.8 meters off the ground, centered on the play area.

For a child between 36" and 44" tall, a good LeapMove height is between 2 to 3.7 feet or 0.6 to 1.1 meters from the floor.

LeapMove should be at least 2 ft off the ground.

LeapMove should be below 6 feet from the ground.

Camera Angle

Make sure the lens cover is open so the camera can see the player.

The camera angle should be adjusted so the circle appears 6 feet or 1.8 meters from the TV and the player’s full body appears on-screen. The correct camera angle and placement of the circle helps provide the optimum play experience.

The circle should appears 6 feet from the TV and the player’s full body appears on-screen

If a child is over 44", try adjusting the camera angle so the circle is 7 to 7.5 feet or 2.1 to 2.3 meters from the TV, or place LeapMove higher, up to 6 feet or 1.8 meters from the floor.

It's important that the circle is between 6 to 8 feet or 1.8 to 2.4 meters from the TV in order for LeapMove motion tracking to work optimally.

LeapMove should be further back to 7 feet if the child is taller than 44"

Adding a visual marker to the play area, like painter's tape on the ground, can help the player stay in bounds.

Visual marker 6 feet from the television and with 10 feet of space side to side can help the player stay in bounds.
