AT GROUND LEVEL
Martin Huber , CEO and Co-founder of 3D modelling and spatial data company , Metaroom by Amrax , discusses how digital twins are opening the door to the adoption of new lighting solutions .
Digital twins can double lighting innovation
A rchitects , designers , constitution companies , facility managers and site owners alike have realised the power and value of spatial design in their day-to-day jobs . One of the most compelling applications of this trend is to easily scan buildings to create 3D digital twins which can then be the subject of the most granular experimentation . A huge range of factors from wireless network coverage and furniture layout to airflow and heating can be adjusted virtually by the user to find the optimum solution . In the past , this process would be incredibly costly , time consuming and fraught with potential risk . Now , anybody , with the minimum of training , can use these platforms to create the ideal design for their needs , and , crucially , easily liaise with other stakeholders to amend and confirm their plans .
Why this matters for the lighting industry is that one of the most experimented with factors is how buildings are illuminated . This stands to reason – lighting has a profound impact on the comfort and
