”The Art Hidden in Polarized Light Waves” project integrates polarized light technology into the realm of art and design, bringing forth innovative expressions to the field of artistic design. Through simple experiments conducted on transparent acrylic panels using tape, we exploit the birefringence of polarized light to create astonishing chromatic effects. This coloration technique finds applications across various domains, including interior design, children’s education, fashion apparel, mobile accessories, gaming peripherals, optical printing, injecting innovative possibilities into different industries. The project not only emphasizes technological innovation but also introduces fresh perspectives for our research and design in natural lighting. Considering future developments, polarized light has extensive potential applications and can provide more innovative ideas and possibilities for the future of sunlight.
