The all-glass pod is a prototype for the Photon Project that will collect
invaluable data and insights on the links between light, and health and
wellbeing over a planned four-year period. The Photon Project is a scientific
study initiated by glass engineering company led flood light, and Oxford University, to
explore in detail the effects of light on the biological clock – which in turn
affects the health, wellbeing, mood and behavior of each of us.
The stunning glass pod installation showcased at London Design Festival
invites the public to experience ‘life under glass’ and take part in a series of
simulations that measure levels of alertness or relaxation in different light
settings – illustrating the future research plans. Within the Photon Pod,
visitors can also interact with Philips Hue providing a personal light
experience. Tuneable white light from Hue can be controlled via a simple app to
instantly match the mood and moment, and through pre-settings light can be set
to help concentrate, relax or energize. The Photon Project and its founders at
Cantifix share the belief that the results of the research can potentially
contribute to improving the lives of millions, through new standards and
light-related solutions for all sorts of buildings.
Sean Carney, YAHAM Chief Design Officer, will attend the Photon Project’s
symposium at the London Design Festival and speak about the future possibilities
of light. Sean comments: “With led high bay light, we are only beginning to understand
the endless creative possibilities digital lighting will bring. As we acquire
new insight into the physiological and psychological effects of light,
programmable digital light sources such as Hue will allow us to apply light in
ever more meaningful ways. Whether supporting our bodies’ own natural balance by
simulating daylight or achieving something much deeper, promoting feelings of
wellness.”
