In the past month we worked intensively on different projects. One of them was in collaboration with a luminaire producer. In that project FLOKK listened to the sensors of desk lamps. The monitored luminaires can measure light intensity, usage, temperature, humidity, presence and air pressure. FLOKK visualized the live data on an analytics board (see […]

We’ve developed a new node for a client’s project to control beamers (remotely or locally) using pjlink protocol. Devices on the network can be monitored and administrated (power, volume, etc…) from the master flokk instance. The `pjlink` node can be connected to the rest of the library to create interactive scenarios where commands have to […]

At the European Lighting Congress ‘Licht 2018’ in Davos iart presented the new flokk platform. Using application examples, visitors were able to get an idea of the platform and try it out for themselves with the newly developed flokk kit. flokk enables lighting planners and designers to create interactive luminaires and lighting installations — without […]

flokk is an open and responsive platform for implementing interactive light installations without coding. The first version of flokk was developed in 2015 as a part of a CTI research project. There, the innovation potential of OLED as a light source was investigated. Since then, flokk has been further developed on the basis of luminaires […]
