US 2015/0028746 A1 · AUGMENTED REALITY GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR NETWORK CONTROLLED LIGHTING SYSTEMS

Abstract

A mobile device having an augmented reality user interface for use in controlling networked light modules. The mobile device can detect via a camera a light module and display an identification of the light module on a user interface such as a touch screen. A user can enter a command via the user interface such as a desired intensity or color for the light module. In response, the mobile device transmits a signal to the light module in order to control the operation of the module based upon the command.
