The Oskar-von-Miller tower is used by the world-renowned Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen to obtain precise weather data and conduct meteorological research. In October 2010, a team of top architects and lighting designers were hired to develop a solution to transform the soaring tower into a signature landmark and communication tool. When the originally-planned illumination systems were unable to meet the demands and challenges presented by the Oskar-von-Miller Tower transformation, the team turned to Traxon & e:cue for a dynamic lighting solution. 25 Traxon Dot XL-3 RGB systems and 23 Traxon String RGB systems, resulting in a total of more than 5,000 pixels of light, were paired with 16 e:cue Butlers and a Lighting Control Engine (LCE) to successfully solve the visibility, precision, budgetary, and timeline challenges posed by the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The university\u2019s logo now shines crisply in RGB at the top of the Oskar-von-Miller Tower, and on the lower portion of the tower, live data collected from the advanced instruments now educates passersby; the changing weather data is remotely input and managed, ensuring the ease of regular updates.<\/p>\n\n<\/a>\n\n
