The Light Tile is a user responsive lighting system. It consists of wall mountable tiles illuminated by OSRAM diodes. The tiles also contain a microphone and infrared motion sensor. Movement and sound cause tiles to illuminate based on the level of activity in the room.

These aren\'t just lights that turn on when you walk by. The brightness of the light tiles is dependent on a combination sound level, movement level, and simple behavioral rules. These inputs result in a smooth, organic lighting experience. It feels as if your house knows what light you need before you do.

For example, Light Tiles need both sound and movement to illuminate. This way, a family watching TV (sound without movement) will not cause the lights to come on. Someone getting up quietly in the middle of the night (movement without sound) will not light the room either.

Tiles can also be activated by user command, through claps and taps. This way, an entire room can be illuminated with a clap of the hands, or a single light can be lit with tap to serve as a reading light.
