LŪMEN: Light as Intelligence
An ethical, resilient urban infrastructure project using decentralized on-device AI luminaires and cooperative mesh networking to create adaptive guidance paths while preserving citizen privacy.
[ 01 // OVERVIEW ]
Project framing
LŪMEN treats street light as a civic intelligence layer. Luminaires compute on-device, cooperate over a mesh, and draw guidance paths without shipping identifiable citizen data to a central cloud.
The published boards walk through the urban scenario, hardware logic, and the ethical stance: adaptive light that orients people without turning the city into a surveillance grid.
[ 02 // APPROACH ]
How the system was built
Edge computing is the interaction constraint. Decisions happen at the luminaire so latency stays low and privacy stays local.
The visual system is nocturnal and infrastructural — aerial urban scenes, mesh topologies, and lighting as a navigational interface rather than a decorative glow.
