The 'Urban Sun' has been designed by Daan Roosegaarde of Studio Roosegaarde as a futuristic installation that's focused on enhancing the health and well-being of citizens by helping them to socialize in a safe manner. The light installation works by being positioned over a large area and using UVC 222 light that is specially tested to neutralize 99.9% of all viruses in mere minutes. This would enable people to meet up to socialize and feel confident that they could be doing so safely.
The 'Urban Sun' maintains a somewhat otherworldly design that would truly come in hand during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as a way for citizens to maintain their socialization as they spend extended periods not gathering in close quarters.
