Tridonic and Eon Reality use augmented reality to control Led lighting systems

The application developed jointly by both companies is being presented at CeBIT 2017, fair that is being held this week in Hannover. This partnership is allowing them to explore how lighting, IoT and augmented reality can be combined to offer greater services and make it easier for the user to control and maintain these devices..

Eon Reality, company that focuses its activity on the transfer of knowledge based on virtual reality for the industry, education and edutainment, y Tridonic, a lighting solutions provider, have partnered to develop an augmented reality-based interface aimed at the net4more lighting control solution.

This AR app is being featured on CeBIT, which is taking place this week in Hannover (Germany), and is part of Tridonic's strategy at the fair that is being held under the motto: “Lighting as the backbone of the Internet of Things”.

With the use of augmented reality, The management and supply of LED lights is easier to carry out. The luminaires can be identified and controlled visually through this augmented reality application that interacts with the device through a network that allows you to see the performance of the device and control it remotely.

Tridonic's net4more solution is based on IPv6 protocols that allow easy communication with third-party services and devices, specifically, in this case, with the EonReality AVR platform.
“Lighting will play a decisive role in the Internet of Things, since it is everywhere, digital and connected. Together with Eon Reality we are exploring how lighting, “IoT and augmented reality can be combined to offer greater services and make it easier for the user to control lighting and its maintenance.”, explains Mathias Burger, director Product Management Controls de Tridonic.

The AVR platform was designed to display real-time contextual data from a local environment, as well as empower people without programming experience to build an enlightened world with IoT data.

“Augmented reality allows users to experiment with data visually and closes the man/machine gap.”. Moving data from computer screens to field of vision, We increase the efficiency and productivity of workers in a wide variety of industries”, commented Mats Johansson, CEO de EonReality.
