The Luminoo is an intelligent, context-aware lamp that is able to respond to a variety of different seating arrangements at the table. With a system of chair-mounted sensors the Luminoo can recognise how many people are sitting at the table and what activities they are engaging in. If a person is working, the lamp can provide a bright light conducive to concentration and work. However, if the people at the table are enjoying a chat, the lamp is able to match the new scenario with a friendly atmosphere under dim. By modifying the lighting environment, the Luminoo is capable of enhancing the moods of the people around. This innovative concept can be considered a contribution to the discussion on the Internet of Things, where everyday items are in some way aware of their surroundings and the context in which they are used.
