Environment setup

I just read a paper entitled "Evaluation of the Kinect™ sensor for 3-D kinematic measurement in the workplace". Since the passive systems (e.g. Vicon or Qualisys) are expensive and bulky, Kinect could be good alternative.
In the object detection, they were saying:
The Kinect had trouble detecting dark surfaces that absorbed light. It was also blind to shiny surfaces that resulted in specular reflection and even rough surfaces if the angle of incidence of incoming light was too large.
As at the first step, it looks like a great cheat code during playing Exergames (playing semi-naked if you are not not sure what to wear), this feature is very important in performance analysis in Exergames. This setup requirement plays a key role in detecting novice and experienced players.
