The goal was to develop a new interaction concept for operating light, prototype it and iterate it with usability testings, to create a unique user experience.
The process began with a single LED controlled by an Arduino Uno. Through countless iterations and optimizations, a complex interplay of multiple components emerged. The usability was put to the test with multiple usability testings.
The result is a working prototype and a series of realistic renderings of the lighting design. The device allows for the control of multiple lamps using a modular system.
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.

Control the lamps and their brightness through pressure-sensitive surface.
The heart of the product offers pause, reset and the loop.
Controls the colors and brightness of the lamps and offers preset modes.
Allows switching between manual and three different automatic modes.
Can be set up variably in the room and connected via bluetooth.
A modular system for individual arrangement of the modules.
