Interface Control for Advanced Bathroom Lighting Multi-Source Lighting Systems
Technologies rapidly increase with fast innovation inventions, so the lighting system in your home. At the same time, available user interfaces providing full control over these systems are too cumbersome to use and are not acceptable for the majority of consumers. To reduce this complexity, this ebook aimed at creating an intuitive user interface control for advanced multi- source lighting systems. Based on participatory design techniques, ebook author invited end-users to help ebook author design and evaluate the new interaction concept. In the final evaluation the user interface design was rated highly with regard to its perceived usefulness and “ease of use”. New designs for advanced lighting systems should aim at user-friendly interfaces that make the transition from ordinary light switches to these new interfaces as simple and natural as possible.
An interaction concept has been created for controlling an advanced multi source lighting system in the bathroom based on the results of extensive user research. The new design reduces the complexity of interaction by providing an interface involving small touch screens which employ the metaphor of a “Light Switch” for controlling basic functions for groups of lights such as switching on and off and changing the intensity of light. The small touch screens are located in strategically chosen activity-related areas in the bathroom. Read more and download this Bathroom Lighting ebook here.
