Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables adjusting the settings of light sources on peripheral devices, such as gaming controllers, to calibrate the light output of the light sources within a dynamic gaming environment. In some aspects, calibrating the light sources may provide for more consistent color or brightness between different light sources on the gaming controller. Methods for performing automated light source calibration based on lighting in a gaming environment are described.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- setting, by an information handling system through a wireless connection to a gaming controller, a plurality of light sources of the gaming controller to a respective plurality of light settings;
- receiving, by the information handling system, image data capturing the plurality of light sources set to the plurality of light settings;
- and
- calibrating, by an information handling system, the plurality of light sources by
- comparing a first portion of the image data corresponding to a first light source of the plurality of light sources to a second portion of the image data corresponding to a second light source of the plurality of light sources, and
- adjusting at least one of the plurality of light settings, based on comparing the first portion of the image data to the second portion of the image data.
An information handling system, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising:
- setting, by an information handling system through a wireless connection to a gaming controller, a plurality of light sources of the gaming controller to a respective plurality of light settings;
- receiving, by the information handling system, image data capturing the plurality of light sources set to the plurality of light settings;
- and
- calibrating, by an information handling system, the plurality of light sources by
- comparing a first portion of the image data corresponding to a first light source of the plurality of light sources to a second portion of the image data corresponding to a second light source of the plurality of light sources, and
- adjusting at least one of the plurality of light settings, based on comparing the first portion of the image data to the second portion of the image data.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code for performing steps comprising:
- setting, by an information handling system through a wireless connection to a gaming controller, a plurality of light sources of the gaming controller to a respective plurality of light settings;
- receiving, by the information handling system, image data capturing the plurality of light sources set to the plurality of light settings;
- and
- calibrating, by an information handling system, the plurality of light sources by
- comparing a first portion of the image data corresponding to a first light source of the plurality of light sources to a second portion of the image data corresponding to a second light source of the plurality of light sources, and
- adjusting at least one of the plurality of light settings, based on comparing the first portion of the image data to the second portion of the image data.
