Trends in Lighting 2018

LED Professional Symposium (LpS) and Trend In Lighting (TIL) was an incredible gathering of architects, planners, designers and technologist. Bregenz provided some insightful days of workshops, lectures and exhibitions. The symposium was dedicated to bridging the gap between lighting design and lighting research and technologies by supporting collaboration, education and creativity.

My supervisor and I were invited speakers at TIL2018, hosted by Rogier van der Heiden. We showcased our unique position at the TU/e to design intelligent lighting from a user centred perspective, going beyond Human Centered Interactions. We presented our works in two presentations, one focussing on the in-depth research performed in my PhD, the other showcasing a broad selection of interactive lighting projects from our department.
