Abstract
Recently, a wide range of products incorporating cutting-edge technology are being introduced in various sectors of design. Belkin's WeMo or Phillips' Hue are representative examples. In this context, the color-responsive lighting bookcase is a design product that would satisfy the needs of contemporary consumers who seek entertainment in their purchases. By installing lightings that change color according to the user's behavior, this design reconceptualizes the bookcase as a source of entertainment rather than a mundane object of household furnishing. The lighting apparatus can be detached and reattached, serving as stand-alone equipment. The lighting bookcase is modularized, comprising extensions equipped with MCU (Micro Controller Unit), RGB LED and color sensors. The bookcase as a whole is extendable towards four directions up to nine units with the lighting bookcase at the center. The extended, multiple lighting bookcases are wired to receive power from the main bookcase, and are equipped with RGB LEDs but not with MCUs or color sensors. Receiving power and color signals from the main lighting bookcase, the sub-bookcases feature changing shades of color. Also, it includes IoT(internet of Things). This study is a proposal of a design product, modularized to control the shades of the bookcase lighting using these sensors.
