Visualization, perception and pedagogy of lighting through innovative numerical displays – PERCILUM

This project will produce knowledge that will lead to new tools for assisting building professionals (architects, engineers, developers) and educators in their decision making and teaching processes: the possibility of a sensory approach of lighting through innovative visualization displays. In this process, it is essential to address the way that visualized scenes are captured and displayed in order to guarantee that the experience will be similar to that of the actual real-time one. This project is at the crossroad of learning, scientific and technological issues and our objective consists in developing solutions to reduce the difference in the visual perception and sensitive lived experience of a real scene and that of the same scene visualized through innovative visualization displays such as immersive head mounted displays for 360° virtual reality and high luminance projection using a patented process.
