Abstract

In this paper we present research activities on the interaction between light and human emotion. We describe the SmartHeliosity prototype which evaluates human emotions to provide appropriate coloured light in order to enhance emotional wellbeing within the working environment. We present technical specifications, colour concepts to provoke certain emotions and user feedback to the prototype system.
