Lighting simulator is perhaps one of the most advanced, visual and cost efficiency real time dashboard for designing lights. Tool utilizes 3d city models and building information models to create virtual dashboard by using latest technology of game engines. User can design lights both interior and exterior spaces even in virtual reality.
Lighting simulator allows designesr to make physically accurate visual lighting proposals by adding lamps to a 3d scene in real time
This tool makes easy to create comfortable and safe environments without light pollution but also makes wildest designs and light art to shine in virtual cities.
Within demo session you will see how to manage lights from dusk till dawn.
Core features of lighting simulator are:
Visualizing your project in real time
- Free flying navigation, first person mode & vehicle rides
- Changing environment: weather, day-night
Adding & editing lamps
- Light values & IES profiles from light manufacturers
- Lamp 3d models
- Position, rotation, height and spot angle
- Color temperature and luminous flux
Convenient energy consumption calculations
Smart lighting tool
This tool has been used in many projects in cities Helsinki and Espoo. It’s really flexible and can be implemented in any 3d environments like from road and street projects to city parks and squares.
Designers have got fast and visual tool to create designs based on real light values and IES profiles. Lighting simulator can be used from conceptual sketches to final design stages. Virtual model provides designers, decision makers, citizens and stakeholders visual and understandable interface to present designs in 3d environments. It makes possible to reduce the design-publish-design cycle from days to mere minutes.
Lamp posts include huge amount of technology in future like 5G base stations, air quality sensors, surveillance cameras etc. Smart lighting will become general and it reduces light pollution and creates safety environments. These base stations are connected to digital and virtual twins.
