In the following, I’d like to highlight a few key questions that will be examined in Bregenz: What do the leading lighting organizations say about the future of the light? Where is our journey going? How does dynamic beam shaping work and what technologies are available? Is LiFi technology ready to use? What flexible OLED technologies are there? How do I plan rooms with new light planning tools? How and what can we learn from other industries and new applications? How do digitization, networking and miniaturization affect new solutions? Do we understand the potentials of Semantic Lighting? Why do cyber security and IoT make us nervous? How do we learn from natural light? How can we expand our creative thinking with new materials, processes and design tools? Is modularity key for future designs? The LpS program is segmented into the topics of: Strategies and Technologies, Quality Engineering, Digitalization, HCL, and Technologies in Applications. On the other hand, the Trends in Lighting program will focus on Lighting Heart & Soul, The Right to Create, Humanized Tech, and Beyond Illumination. Join our annual events and be inspired by over 100 leading experts in the fields of light, architecture, design, communication, medicine, transportation and horticulture, to name just a few. This LpR issue contains an overview of the complete program and articles related to the above key questions. Have a good read.
