Lighting Design aided by Activity Zones and Context-Aware Computing Andy Perelson Advisor: Kimberle Koile Problem: How can activity zones be  used to aid lighting design? System can learn: Where people are over time (Activity Zones) What areas are lit over time (Lighting Zones) System can then: Communicate the motion of a play Test lighting design ideas Communicate details of lighting design Control lighting systems Teach people about production Existing Activity Zone System Working system implemented in CSAIL as part of Project Oxygen People tracked by camera or generate simulated data Infer zones by observing behavior over time Allow users to relate zones to actions or context features Building Upon Existing System 3 Necessary Components Location Awareness – What zones do people inhabit? What areas are lit? Script (Time) Awareness – Where in the script is the action taking place? Agent using context information to process and act upon information in a way useful to designers Step 1:Location Awareness: Tracking to Zones Problems: Resolving zones from tracking data: Current algorithms create many small zones where one large one would be desirable when presented with small tracking data set. Need second set of lighting zones Solution: Merge zones by defining activities zones in relation to where people are for sections of the script (scenes, between cues). Combine all zones that exist during one section into a larger zone Input lighting zones as either complete zone or lighting source and beam information. Step 2:Script Awareness Script Awareness enables a better interpretation of the actions taking place Meaning of an action comes from the context surrounding that action In a play, that context comes from the script Create a “super” script allowing a connection to be made between movement and text Maintain audio and text copes of script Relates movement to appropriate point in script Step 3:The Agent: Using gather
