ABSTRACT
Lighting has become an integral element in interactive environments as a result of advances in LED and home automation technology. New models for controlling diverse sets of lighting fixtures are needed. Traditional lighting control, where users manipulate the state of individual light fixtures, is not efficient or expressive in situations where a large number of lights with complex parameters need to be configured. We present a multi-tiered software framework which enables the creation of new kind of user interfaces for controlling lighting and construction of intelligent solutions which automatically control lights. Using the low level of the framework, individual fixtures are controlled over unified protocol, which abstracts the exact technical capabilities of lighting hardware. At the spatial lighting service level the control is realized using concepts like area and direction. The framework has been used in several real-world installations, e.g., to create physical exercise games for children and to design light-based indoor guidance.
