3. Plug the sensor into a power socket and connect it to the PC’s USB
port.
4. Set up good lightning for the scanning site following the recom-
mendations listed below and consulting the figures shown in Ap-

•If using artificial light, avoid using fluorescent lamps.
•Make sure there is no direct light, either artificial or natural,
shining on the person to be scanned or the Kinect ’s cameras.
