A new, interactive operating concept for creative lamp control. Part of the project was the development of an interactive concept, as well as prototyping with Arduino and the evaluation of the concept through user testings.
The idea
With itery you become a light DJ. Impressive light beats can be played and repeated. Create simple beats or complex compositions and take your house party to the next level.
New operating concepts were developed, prototyped with an Arduino Uno and put to the test in user tests.
how it works
Itery controls lamps in a room. Beats are recorded on the drumpads and are played back using the loop button. This creates a light composition.
How exactly the operation of itery can look like is shown in the adjacent video and explained using the Arduino prototype.
the components
Itery is a modular system. Its components can be arranged individually to match the lamp setup in the room.
Drumpads
Control the lamps and their brightness through pressure-sensitive surface.
Controlpanel
The heart of the product offers pause, reset and the loop.
Colorpanel
Controls the colors and brightness of the lamps and offers preset modes.
Autopanel
Allows switching between manual and three different automatic modes.
Lamps
Can be set up variably in the room and connected via bluetooth.
System
Is a modular system for individual arrangement of the modules.
the prototype
To validate our assumptions about the interactions with the system, we built an Arduino prototype and performed user testings.

During the project, my kitchen became a prototype workshop and we first developed a single flashing LED and then gradually the whole system.
