Algorithmically‐ and sensor ‐ controlled dynamic, daylight‐quality artificial lighting provides an opportunity to restore occupants’ connection to their external environment. LED luminaires can indicate sky conditions in windowless building interiors while providing high quality ambient illumination. We present methods to achieve real‐time and idealized emulations of sun and sky light specific to local geographic coordinates, orientation, and time.
