“…This allows people to create more suitable atmospheres and working environments and as such have different settings for different occasions. Moreover, the increasing knowledge about the effects of light on people allows us to use the emotional, psychological, physiological [3] and social [4] effects of light, as well as to use light to convey information in ambient displays [5,6]. The potential connectivity of the LEDs to each other and other computational devices also allows for behaviour of the environment based on information from sensors or the web.…”

New lighting technologies create new opportunities that may contribute to people's experience of light. These opportunities are a result of the increased variety and freedom in terms of colour, form factor and connectivity of the lights. To allow people to fully benefit from the potential of such novel lighting systems, there is a need for a new user interaction paradigm. To develop this paradigm, we have to better understand the aspects that play a part in the interaction with lighting, paying special attention to people's motivation for interaction. This paper reports on a context-mapping study that was performed to gain insight in these aspects. As result, we present a set of seven themes that regard the interaction with lighting in the current situation and in the future. These themes provide an overview of the relevant aspects in this domain and contain considerations and opportunities for the design of new interfaces for novel lighting systems. We conclude that people have different levels of lighting needs that are highly dependent on context and that also require control at different levels. The context and lighting needs have a large influence on the extent to which people are motivated to adjust their lighting. Moreover, the lighting interface itself has a large effect on this motivation, mainly influenced by the degrees of freedom, the control location and availability, the degree of automation and general interaction qualities.

“…Especially, as our everyday environments are becoming more and more dynamic, they are used for a wider variety of activities: e.g., spaces traditionally for the domain of family life often become workspaces and vice versa. Emphasizing the dynamic situations on a daily basis, Magielse (2011) argued that the social influence of lighting needs to be taken into consideration to make adaptive lighting environment viable. Therefore, our assumption in the study is that the usage of lighting is influenced by the context in which the lighting is used.…”

Background Although lighting increasingly penetrates our everyday life due to technology advancement, little is known about how people interact with lighting and how contextual factors impact on the experience. Thus, this study attempted to reveal how two contextual factors (the level of concentration required for pleasant lighting use and social interaction) could influence the manipulation of lighting parameters, particularly focusing on the major factors of lighting such as illuminance, color temperature, and hue. MethodsTo understand of the interaction between contextual factors and lighting variables, an experiment was conducted. 10 singles and 10 couples had to manipulate lighting variables such as intensity and colorin five everyday situations for pleasant lighting experience. ResultsThe result of the experiment showed that illuminance, color temperature and hue are influenced by the degree of concentration, but only partially influenced by social factors. The findings could provide a better understanding of manipulating lighting variables in terms of use context with design practitioners.Conclusions The overall findings of the study indicate that illuminance, color temperature, and hue are significantly dependent upon the level of concentration required in at-home lighting use, and also have only a partial dependence on social effect. This implies that although we assumed that people have their personal lighting preferences, their preferences can be largely dependent on the degree of concentration required for at-home pleasant lighting use. Hence, there are common patterns among people in manipulating lighting parameters, which are less dependent on personal differences.

“…Based on 15 years' experience with RtD, we are in the luxurious position of being able to look back on a broad range of high-level prototypes (e.g., Bruns Alonso, 2010; Deckers, 2013;Djajadiningrat, 1998;Frens, 2006;Hengeveld, 2011;Hummels, 2000;Magielse, 2014;Magielse and Ross, 2011;Mendels, 2013;Ross, 2008;Wensveen, 2005) and derive lessons from that. Our works have in common that they build on or draw from a theoretical background in ecological perception psychology (Gibson, 1986) and more recently the phenomenology of perception (Merleau-Ponty, 1945).…”

Artefact Matters

In this paper we consider the current lively discussion on how and whether to formalize the Research through Design (RtD) approach and argue that the role of the artefact is essential but underexposed in this discussion. Through three case studies we investigate the different roles the artefact can have within RtD and show that design relevant knowledge is in the process of designing the actual artefact, in the artefact itself as well as in its evaluation. Considering the role of the artefact more thoroughly portrays insights on how theory is built in the RtD approach, as well as in matters that do or do not make sense to formalize in the first place. We discuss this at the end of the paper through identifying similarities and differences between the three cases.
