 Accessibility in Design
Here we take a look at project that features accessibility as a part of lighting design for Accessibility Standards Canada. Signify has released an interesting new technology for motion detection without sensors, which is being rolled out as a feature in the new version of their Wiz app. Motion is detected by measuring deviation in WiFi signals when a person enters the room. Also, DALI is focusing on wireless controls, NLB talks making driving safer through lighting, Cooper Lighting offers healthcare focused training. |
