LIT
A theatre lighting control system based on Human Centric Lighting
Initial challenge
To design a lighting system that allows users to control different types of lights in different areas of a theatre, taking into account “Human Centric Lighting” and energy consumption.
Strategic search
We analysed the elements that influence theatre lighting:
We searched the distinctive features of the theatres in the area and we discovered “The Gayarre Experience”:
A project that deepens the experience of attending and living the performance of a play from the inside.
Gayarre Theatre (Pamplona)
The Gayarre experience
We considered it as an opportunity to aim this experience at students in the audiovisual field.
Exploration
We interviewed a number of theatre users to understand the theatre lighting process and verify the need of students to put their knowledge into practice.
FIELD RESEARCH
We interviewed
2 students in the audiovisual field
"We cannot put into practice the theoretical contents acquired"
We visited
The interior of the Amaia Theatre
"Design the plan, position the spotlights & cofigure parameters"
We spoke with
2 lighting and sound technicians
"The current trend in theatres is to use LED spotlights"
Based on the previous analysis, we defined the user of our digital system, their needs, objectives, the tasks to be performed and the context of use.
PERSONAS • BRIEF
A system that allows a student in the audiovisual field to live, in the Gayarre Theatre, a complete experience of the process of stage lighting, from design to execution.
Ideation & development
We defined both the user and technical requirements. We grouped together the functions of the system, we organised the information and designed its skeleton.
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE • WIREFRAMES
Final result
LIT
An application to experience the role of lighting technician through digital design of lighting plans, modification of spotlights, assignment of physical and channel positioning and recording of their configuration in order to remotely control the lights and to obtain the approximate consumption of each show.
Stage lighting design
By means of spotlights, lighting plan and consumption calculation.
Control of three types of lights
The maintenance lights and the working lights at the back of the stage, the auditorium area and the stage lights.
Tested prototype
We carried out tests based on the execution of numerous guided tasks (in person and remotely) and on filling out a use questionnaire to detect problems and possible solutions.
Thanks to them we concluded that the aspects to maintain are ease of use and learning, usefulness and personal satisfaction.
We tested the app with
The technical director of the Gayarre Theatre and 3 other users
