LightPulse, breathing through light

Through a personal decision to create and promote psychological states of calm, relaxation, and transcendence, this project was born to study and research light, art, and health to find points in common to create an experience focused on health care spaces, specifically cancer facilities. This exploration aims to improve or enhance the well-being of users in waiting rooms to some extent through light. Based on the literature review, a dynamic and immersive experience with light was developed within a space simulating waiting rooms in hospitals. It was tested with 14 participants exposed to the experience for ten minutes. This thesis concludes that the dynamism in light is necessary to create engagement on the user. This dynamism simultaneously changing rhythmically in time generates a feeling of calmness and relaxation on the participants, perceived as a positive experience within the function of the space and the overall wellbeing of the users.
