Introducon
4DDynamics IIIDScanner based
on the Primesense 3DDepth Sensor
The PrimeSense 3D Depth Sensor is an end-to-end so-
luon that enables devices to perceive the world in 3D,
and to translate these percepons into a synchronized
image, the same way that people do, thus harnessing
the power of nnatural interacon. Making this soluon
praccal, convenient, intuive and easy to use.
The 4DDynamics scanning soware turns the sen-
sor into a fully funconal 3DScanner. Aer you have
nished scanning it also allows you to edit the scanned
images and merge the dierent images in order to
create a high quality 3D model.
This is an easy and inexpensive way to get started with
IIID scanning.

mailaddress and password.
3. Aer you logged in, go to «Acvate Device» by
selecng this at the top.
4. Fill in your “serial number” which you can nd
on the 3D Depth Sensor. Click on the «Acvate»
buon to acvate your device. During device ac-
vaon, your serial number is being veried, linked
to your account and then licensed to run on your
computer.
5. Aer acvaon you are redirected to the download
page where you can download the soware (follow
the instrucons on the screen)
6. Aer downloading the soware install the soware
(follow the instrucons during installaon)
7. Before starng the program always rst connect
the 3D Depth Sensor to a USB port 2.0 It is impor-
tant to note that USB 3.0 ports, commonly recogni-
zed by their blue coloring instead of the standard
black, are prone to USB communicaon problems.
We therefore recommend you never connect your
sensor to your PC on a USB 3.0 or blue port.
8. Start the program (when starng the program for
the rst me, It is important to be connected to
the internet.)
9. Start scanning (follow instrucons on the video
tutorial on www.4DDynamics.com)
