Control methods, computer-readable media, and controllers

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for synchronized lighting effects which, when executed by a computer, make the computer perform a control method, the control method comprising:

• mapping a lighting effect to a plurality of light sources provided in an environment, based on spatial information, using computer vision techniques, about the plurality of light sources in the environment;
• modulating timing, color and space parameters of the plurality of light sources to smoothly span the lighting effect across the environment;
• determining control information for the plurality of light sources based on the mapping and the modulation;
• controlling the plurality of light sources based on the control information to create the lighting effect, wherein the plurality of light sources comprises at least one computer peripheral device and at least one ambient light source in the environment;
• and
• determining spatial information about the plurality of light sources based on geometric information about respective geometries of respective housings of the plurality of light sources, wherein the geometric information comprises positions of one or more light elements on each light source of the plurality of light sources.

A controller for synchronized lighting effects comprising:

• a control information determination circuit configured to determine control information for a plurality of light sources provided in an environment, wherein the control information determination circuit is configured to determine the control information by mapping a lighting effect to the plurality of light sources based on spatial information, using computer vision techniques, of the plurality of light sources in the environment, and modulating timing, color and space parameters of the plurality of light sources to smoothly span the lighting effect across the environment;
• a control circuit configured to control the plurality of light sources based on the control information to create the lighting effect, wherein the plurality of light sources comprises at least one computer peripheral device and at least one ambient light source in the environment;
• and
• a geometry determination circuit configured to determine geometric information about respective geometries of respective housings of the plurality of light sources, wherein the geometric information comprises positions of one or more lighting elements on each of the plurality of light sources.
