Adaptive Ceiling Interface
Bring power from the ceiling. Use it smart.
ACI turns an existing ceiling light point into a smart modular power hub. It keeps lighting at the core, while adding access to power, intelligence, visual communication and future modules.
Origin Story
It started with one simple question.
Why is ceiling power only used for lighting? The first answer was not a product. It was a workaround: make existing ceiling power accessible. That practical experiment became the beginning of ACI.
A ceiling connection
A familiar ceiling lamp, using the power above the room for only one purpose.
What if it could do more?
The idea was to unlock the power that was already there, instead of hiding it inside a lamp point.
From light to interface
The ceiling point becomes a modular platform for light, power and interaction.
PowerCore
The heart of ACI.
The PowerCore brings ceiling power down and turns it into a smart connection point. It is the fixed interface between the ceiling and everything that can be connected below it.
⚡ Power
Access ceiling power in a new way.
🧠 Intelligence
Control, communication and module awareness.
◎ Feedback
Status light and visual system behavior.
🔗 Docking
Stackable module connection below.
Modules
Add functionality. Keep your light.
ACI modules are designed to pass power and communication through the stack. You add functionality without losing the lamp underneath.
Lamp Module
The first module keeps the original purpose of the ceiling connection alive: light.
Adaptive light concept
A future evolution where the lamp can also display subtle information, such as time or status.
Visual Module
Your ceiling can communicate: status, alerts and information without adding another screen.
Audio Module
Prototype in development. Exploring sound, alerts and future audio interaction.
One interface. Endless possibilities.
Future modules can grow from the same interface while keeping the lamp as the final layer.
Clean when idle
Designed to blend into the room when you do not actively use every function.
Live Prototype Tests
Not just renders. Real prototype behavior.
The existing videos remain on the NAS. These cards link directly to the current MP4 files and use the existing preview images as thumbnails.
Use Cases
One ceiling interface. Different environments.
The same core idea can adapt to homes, offices, logistics environments and future experience spaces.
Residential
A smarter home starts at the ceiling: light, power and future interaction from one point.
Smart office
Room status, notifications and visual feedback where people already look.
Logistics
Operational information exactly where people need it: above the work area.
Experience concepts
Future environments such as sports, entertainment and interactive venues.
Beyond traditional rooms
ACI can become an infrastructure layer for information, scoring, lighting and sensing concepts.
Behind ACI
The creator, the prototypes and a Little Helper.
ACI did not start in a laboratory. It started at my table, with a practical frustration and a simple question. I design, build, print, test and improve every prototype step by step.
Every inventor needs a Little Helper. Mine is called Zoë — watching every prototype, failed print and small breakthrough.
Building at the table
Real components, real tests and real iteration.
Zoë, my Little Helper
A small human detail behind a serious technical journey.
A one-person journey
A personal project, built with persistence and curiosity.
EDS Awareness
Awareness stays part of the mission.
Alongside ACI, I want to keep creating awareness for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and HSD. ACI is about technology, but also about environments that can become clearer, calmer and more supportive.
