Cost-effective solutions by extending the functions of classic LED-based lighting systems in the areas of Visible Light Communication, Visible Light Positioning and Visible Light Sensing
Smart Connected Lighting © JOANNEUM RESEARCH
We develop cost-effective solutions by extending the functions of classic LED-based lighting systems for a wide range of applications in the fields of visible light communication, visible light positioning and visible light sensing to realise innovative sensor solutions based on visible light.
In addition to the targeted production of lighting scenarios, prospective lighting systems will make it possible to acquire or transmit a multitude of data that must in turn be further processed and evaluated intelligently.
Functional lighting can be used in the following application areas: kann in folgenden Anwendungsbereichen zum Einsatz kommen:
