Ambify for iOS Sets Philips Hue Lights to Music

This future is indeed here. This reminds me a bit of Journey into Imagination at EPCOT back in 1982 where one jumped over spots on the floor that were light with different colors and made music by hopping from one place to another. But this is the opposite - the music controls the lights. Truly amazing when you think about it.

Ha! Next Christmas I will rule the block with outdoor speakers, huge ones, and giant woofers and a thousand pulsating Phillips lights. Nobody will even notice the neighbors with their unimaginative strings of lights and inflatable santas. I will need some suggestions for edgy and loud Xmas music...It is all about religion of course.

This is not the first app for the Philips hue on the App Store .

Hue disco: the fun feature with this one is the strobe

Hue Go: red alert etc

Magic hue the disco effect

Hue rapide : this one I didn't try

Does the system comes with pot? Just curious...

Im really wanting to purchase this light bulbs, but does anyone know where to buy that pot that holds the bulb.

Lighting is one of the areas they are still going to focus on - no more TVs - but lighting is now a huge focus for the company

These would be useful at a party, I suppose. But I don't see myself using it in every-day-life. the flashing on and off looks kinda annoying.

Holy crap. I just downloaded this and I'm never going to leave my room again. :D

I think you'd rather be doing some shrooms or molly with this... or even better as Jobs used to ask when he interviewed... Have you ever done LSD?

I heard Philips has exited the consumer market. So no more TVs and no more hue.

I actually build a system like this myself...

I don't mention it syncs to music in that post because I hadn't completed it at that point, but it's finished now and works great. My Mac sends the music beat and frequency data to the Raspberry Pi in real time and the lights are controlled in time with the music. The user can change the effect and colors at any time using the web console and pressing buttons on your keyboard.

Obviously, that system's only going to work if you have electronics and programming knowledge-- you have to wire up the LEDs and Raspberry Pi by yourself, and then install the software to control the LEDs. It's a DIY project, but it has pretty cool results.
