Interactive light installations have become an extremely pervasive phenomenon in contemporary design. Light is a profound element in our lives. Through a design perspective, it is incredible to think about the effect it can have on people's perceived experience in a given space.
Interacting with light and seeing real-time immediate effects on the captivating visual stimuli is intriguing. It is a sought after experience that is taken advantage of by many designers of industries from entertainment to retail.
With an abundance of options to choose from, people are becoming more immersed into products and experiences they can reciprocate and experiment with. As advancing technology is rapidly assisting the developments suited for this need, designers are ubiquitously integrating interactive lighting installations on their manufactured products and experiences.
