Philips Hue acts like Illumiroom, syncs lighting with Xbox One game

Popular co-op platform traversal based puzzler Chariot has been updated to support Phillips Hue.

Philips Hue is a connected light system that can work seamlessly throughout your home's entire lighting system, be it bulbs, strips or LEDs. It can help reflect mood across the entire system or just in one room. Part of their plan for the system is to allow a range of third party apps and devices to be able to access and integrate with the system. One such device in their quest to make lighting become a part your life beyond just lighting a room is the Xbox One, although individual titles need to have support added to them to use the Hue.

This should be made compatible with Geomerty Wars so anyone looking into your house will think its a club.

Wow, just WOW!.

A light that changes colour while I play a game. Amazing!. Oh hangon I can just get a bunch of those candles that change colour (a pack of 5 for £9.99).

Still, I've got money to burn... so pointless mood lighting it is!

Gazondaily3621d ago

Damn I wanna buy these magic candles that change colour to match what's happening in a game! Send me the link please! I will buy them ASAP especially for 10 quid!

What you need is this.

While it wont match the lights on your screen(only Philips do that i think), it does match want you want with a touch of a button.

I have this stuck on to the back of my TV and stand, i also have a universal remote which i have programmed to turn the lights on when i start certain appliances, Eg, blue for Playstation, green for Xbox and red because my PC case is red. watching movies i stick it on a slow multicoloured fade affect.

Looks really really cool and enhances my gaming/movie experience.

AWESOME!!. All we need now is have a PS4 / X1 Orgasm Beam to activate everytime you level up and we will have the best systems in the world... Change of pants anyone?

New definition of "pointless"

ps360s3621d ago (Edited 3621d ago )

not pointless...

I have these lights which is good for a cinema experience with my projector/TV

and it does give you relaxation when you just want to relax :)

It's not a earth shattering addition and Im not going to run out to buy thisc tommorrow but it enhances the immersion of your gaming experience, whats pointless about that?

MSBAUSTX3621d ago

I dont know. It is kinda cool. Would be cool to have it work with survival games where it would flash red when you get hit and loose health or flash bright when a light shines at you or flash when a grenade blows up. I would have to see it in action more than for chariot before I could decide if this is a good idea. Also depends on pricing.
