LuxTrace
Indoor location tracking using building lighting. (ca. 2004-2006)
Concept
The project targeted a wearable system for tracking the user's location
indoors. Lights are tracked by solar cells that (as an intended
side-effect) generate power. Flexible solar cells attached to the
shoulders of a jacket were foreseen. An empirical and theoretic
evaluation of building lighting was combined with practical
tracking experiments.
