Artificial light source based messaging platform

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting, using a light sensor coupled to the processor, a modulated light from an artificial light source in an area,
• wherein the modulated light is representative of data associated with a first device in the area, and
• wherein the artificial light source is associated with the first device;
• decoding the modulated light to retrieve the data associated with the artificial light source;
• and
• visually presenting, via a display coupled to the processor, a first visual identifier associated with the first device in the area and a second visual identifier associated with a second device in the area, the first visual identifier and the second visual identifier distinguishing the first device from the second device in the area.
