Presentations at the 30th CIE Quadrennial Meeting in Ljubljana
In the third week of September 2023 (18-20 September 2023), four of our team members travelled to Ljubljana, Slovenia, to attend the 30th Quadrennial meeting of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). This conference served as a great platform to obtain cutting-edge insights into the light and its application in the real-world, spanning from health to architecture and beyond. Our team, honoured to participate, seized the opportunity to present our research findings and engage in enlightening exchanges with other researchers in the field.
Uday Nakade and Carolina Guidolin attended the poster session presenting their current work. Uday's poster detailed his work on two projects. The first was the use of spectral computer rendering in designing better light environments for people and the second studied the effects of head shape on one's visual field. Carolina's poster illustrated her work on the development of a novel eye-level alpha-opic and UV irradiance light logger, designed to measure light exposure in field studies.
In the integrative lighting panel, Niloufar Tabandeh presented a unique campaign measurement methodology that employs a data-driven approach to capture the temporal, spatial, and spectral characteristics of light in natural scenes. This innovative method aims to enhance our understanding of light on humans, encompassing its influence on image and non-image forming processes. The presentation outlined the project's objectives and highlighted its potential to revolutionise our perspective of physiology-relevant aspects of light in the real world.
Manuel Spitschan also featured in the same “Integrative lighting” panel, where he presented the new consensus-based ENLIGHT checklist and guidelines for reporting light interventions systemically in laboratory studies on non-visual effects of light. This checklist serves to document key parameters of light interventions and was developed with an international expert group.
