A light system that always controls the light such that it takes away your desire to interact is not the best lighting system. Good interaction paradigms do search for active participation and engage you.  Jean-Paul Linnartz explores what makes an interactive lighting system work well. Prof Berry Eggen of Eindhoven University of Technology is our guest. "User preferences do not exist", at least not in the way that some researchers believed that there were stable, invariant preferred light settings.  

 Trying to understand the human by AI is giving a new dimension to interaction concepts but still the interaction by itself with key. The lights may ask you a question or explore new settings that you have never thought of yourself.
