What's the range of the TrueDepth camera?

What's the minimum and maximum distance that the front facing TrueDepth camera can detect?

When detecting depth data, if the value returned was normalized to the range 0 to 1, I'd be able to convert it to a grayscale image pretty easily. However, since the values returned are distance in meters, I could easily get a value such as 2.5.

Therefore, knowing the theoretical minimum and maximum could help me normalize the values into the range of 0 to 1.

Update: Very inaccurate estimates using Apple's sample app show that it's about 15cm (minimum) to 400cm (maximum), however, this measurement was nowhere near precise. Therefore, I'm still looking for a more authoritative answer (e.g. one that uses a better methodology for determining the range).
