Introduction
4DDynamics IIIDScanner based
on the Primesense 3DDepth Sensor
The PrimeSense 3D Depth Sensor is an end-to-end so-
lution that enables devices to perceive the world in 3D,
and to translate these perceptions into a synchronized
image, the same way that people do, thus harnessing
the power of nnatural interaction. Making this solution
practical, convenient, intuitive and easy to use.
The 4DDynamics scanning software turns the sen-
sor into a fully functional 3DScanner. After you have
finished scanning it also allows you to edit the scanned
images and merge the different 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. After you logged in, go to «Activate Device» by
selecting this at the top.
4. Fill in your “serial number” which you can find
on the 3D Depth Sensor. Click on the «Activate»
button to activate your device. During device acti-
vation, your serial number is being verified, linked
to your account and then licensed to run on your
computer.
5. After activation you are redirected to the download
page where you can download the software (follow
the instructions on the screen)
6. After downloading the software install the software
(follow the instructions during installation)
7. Before starting the program always first 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 communication 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 starting the program for
the first time, It is important to be connected to
the internet.)
9. Start scanning (follow instructions on the video
tutorial on www.4DDynamics.com)
