What you need
If you're sourcing your own equipment, please review our hardware requirements.
How to connect the equipment
NOTE: If you use a USB extension cable to extend the distance between your camera and your computer, you must use a powered data-transfer cable (USB extension cables designed to extend the length of charging cables will not work). Check our current recommendations to find links to appropriate USB extension cables and other equipment.
How to install the equipment
Install your floor system in an area free of directional lighting (like spotlights or track lighting). Do not install near exterior windows or direct lighting. You will need approximately 2.7m x 2m (9’ x 7’) of open floor space. The display size will vary based on the height of your projector.
- Mount the projector on the wall at least 2.4m (8’) from the floor and turn it on.
- Center and mount the camera over the center of the display area.
- Connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable. Look for a USB3 port on your computer (they're usually blue).
- Connect the projector to your computer using the HDMI cable.
- Plug in and turn on the computer and the projector and launch LUMOplay.
- Proceed to calibration.
