Artificial light affects us in subtle ways. At its best, ambient lighting can relax, soothe or excite, but used poorly it can drain us of energy and disrupt sleep.

A new system uses information from biosensors worn by the occupants of a room or building to determine what users are doing and then changes the lighting accordingly.
