"Color-changing lights are a lot of fun, but it can be hard to figure out how to best use them in your home. Most smart lighting companies offer pre-designed scenes to help you light your space, but the lights don't know where they are physically in your home, and the effect can get diluted. Philips Hue has a solution to this problem: SpatialAware."
"SpatialAware knows your room's layout and the placement of your Hue lights, so it can determine the best way to distribute the scene's colors and effects across them. It gets the data when you scan your space with your smartphone in the Hue app. Using your phone's AR capabilities, the system can create a 3D model of the placement of Hue lights in your room."
"That's then stored as a map in the Hue app, and when you apply one of Hue's newly remastered scenes, it will distribute the light intelligently based on where bulbs and fixtures are. So, for a sunset scene, for example, the lamps on one side of the room will show warm yellow tones to mimic the setting sun, while the ceiling lights on the opposite side will have darker tones and colors."
SpatialAware maps room layouts and Hue light placements to intelligently distribute scene colors and effects across fixtures. Users scan their spaces with the Hue app using smartphone AR to create a 3D model of light positions. That 3D map is stored in the Hue app and informs how remastered scenes apply colors based on each bulb's location. About half of Hue's scenes have been reworked to adapt to the physical layout data. For a sunset scene, lamps on one side will show warm yellow tones while opposite ceiling lights receive darker colors to mimic real-world lighting. A CES demonstration showed the system producing more coherent and spatially accurate effects in a hotel suite.
