Games, whether on consoles, but slowly also on mobile devices, are becoming more and more realistic and try to attract and involve the player as much as possible. The gaming experience can be enhanced in many ways, for example with a quality audio system, and now Philips offers another option for an enhanced experience. Its Hue smart bulbs will now light up according to what's happening on the screen.
Philips announced the first such collaboration with Frima Studio and its popular cooperative platform game Push Trolley, which is available for Xbox One. Chariot will be the first game connected to the smart Philips Hue system, the bulbs of which will be automatically synchronized and will shine in the color and intensity as the gameplay demands.
In practice, this will mean that when you v Chariot an enemy attacks, the Hue bulbs turn red, when a colorful plant develops, your room lights up in its colors. The possibilities are almost endless and it will only be a matter of how the developers use the possibilities of the lighting system.

In addition, Philips continues its collaboration with Syfy and prepares its Hue bulbs for the new film as well Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (Shark Tornado 3), which premieres on July 22. With Syfy Sync (available only in the US App Store) it will also be possible to connect this movie to the lights in the living room. This time, Hue works on the principle of eavesdropping, where it knows which lights to turn on based on the sound.
For now, these are just the first swallows, but it can be expected that Philips will want to expand its system to other games and potentially platforms. Even now, the lights themselves get along well with iPhones and iPads, so we could eventually expect our smart lights to respond to games on iOS devices as well.
the second video is not accessible for this country..
Thanks, we put another one.
Lol, Sharknado already has a third episode, movies are really going downhill :-D
I wonder why Philis Hue is suddenly not on the Czech Apple Store?
If anyone is interested, I have for sale one Philips Hue Iris lamp incl. Hue controller connectable to the Philips Hue system. I would write an advertisement for a bazaar or an aukro. or write to email: pracovni0email snek gmail.com
I have Philips Hue bulbs stuck in the chandelier and I have to praise their durability. The savings left before them one by one, but Hue still holds on. When it happened that one of them didn't light up, it was enough to turn the light off and on and it went without a problem. And it was an exception. On the other hand, I have to say that I hardly use those colors in it. It's just so that I or anyone in the family can turn it on or off from any iOS device. Sometimes I just change the temperature of the light - more yellow or whiter. I don't do a lot of parties at home, so I just tried changing the colors to the rhythm of the music, similarly, no one at home has any understanding of strobe flashes, so only on my birthday I let each light bulb shine in a different color (there are six of them), but otherwise I really only have wireless ones on and off. And it probably wouldn't matter to everyone, but I have a built-in floor in the room and the switches for the chandelier are only at the bottom, so it's convenient. I haven't tried it with IFTTT yet, but again it would be more of a toss up.
