Market Hall Living Lab

The Market Hall Living Lab is a semi-outdoor space where various experiments can be done to increase the understanding of light’s effect on human behaviour and experience, using novel and innovative smart urban lighting solutions in support of safe, pleasant and socially cohesive urban spaces.The Market Hall Living Lab infrastructure is gradually upgraded to grow with the needs of the researchers.

Purpose

Since 2012 the Market Hall aims to be a stepping stone towards the implementation of smart lighting solutions in large-scale public environments, by offering a playground and eco-system in support of research, education and demonstrations in such domains as:

  • Effects of light on human behaviour and perception
  • Propositions of new smart-lighting-based services
  • Novel modes of interacting with lighting systems
  • Light control app development
  • Sensors and algorithms
  • Smart city / Internet of Things (IoT) concepts

Who can make use of the Market Hall Living Lab?

Any group at TU/e can apply to do research in the Atlas Living Lab. All research projects will require a full proposal that need to be approved by the ethical committee, and other relevant parties. Contact the labcoordinator at atlaslivinglab@tue.nl for information on the possibilities.

GLOW Ballroom in The Market Hall

The Market Hall was used during GLOW 2021 for the Ballroom installation. With this installation Team IGNITE aims to increase the social cohesion between unfamiliar people in public space. In the installation people can dance with each other, but also with interactive light beams. The advanced sensor system of the TU/e Crowdflow Research Group enables detection of people and their direction in real-time. The light beams follow the dancers in a graceful and elegant way.
