Forgive me for being a dullard; what do they do?
They are RGB light panels that can individually vary their color, brightness, and pattern. They can be controlled via app, with premade, user made, or community made patterns. They can be connected in any configuration with any number, and the app will automatically detect the configuration. Multiple patterns can be saved and switched between, in the app or via outside triggers like voice commands, motion detectors, etc. Also, with a $30 add-on, they can pulse/flow along to any music in the room.
Can you connect millions of them together and make a giant city-sized TV?
Do you have a giant sized PS4??Quote:

Sheesh, couldn't you have put it in the proper place?

This is what I was asking. I watched the video and understood what it did, per se. But what would I use it for? I think it's neat how it recognizes its own configuration.Quote:

For lighting a room. These seem decorative, not functional. Entertainment industry application, I guess.
They'd be good in a bar/nightclub scenario.
From a design standpoint, they'd be interesting, variable accent lighting.
From a functional standpoint, you could use them as wake up lights, or stairway lighting, or any other setup where you might want variable brightness and hue based on time of day or motion detected or something.
I use rope light in my bar. These would be neat as a replacement for those.
I was born without one. A shame, really.
New thought: cover your entire ceiling as a replacement for all traditional lighting, give yourself incredibly flexible control of all lighting in your home.
Yep, and soon we'll probably have OLED wallpaper that we can completely change the look of our rooms whenever we want as well.Quote:

Now they make a smaller, cheaper version with touch sensitive square lights.

Saw these at Best Buy while I was getting Moms new tablet for Christmas.
They are a LOT brighter than I thought they would be. I honestly think if you used them in white or another lighter color they would be enough to light a room.
Also saw this on reddit . The guy 3d printed his own and used 3 leds per panel with a controller of some sort.
