Our phones can do virtually anything these days. From making payments with a tap, unlocking your car, and even opening your garage, the possibilities seem endless. While what you see below isn’t near as functional as the three aforementioned things, it’s just damn cool.
This little project comes to us from a French developer who placed an RGB lamp inside of a McDonald’s cup (like you do) and is able to change the colors of said lamp using a Wildfire S.
As explained on the developer’s website:
The orientation of the phone is detected by the built-in compass (magnetic field sensor 3-axis) parameters hue, saturation and brightness are converted to RGB and then sent via a TCP connection to the Fox board that controls the lamp.
As you can see in the video, the lamp can change colors by dragging a finger along the screen or even turning the phone around. There’s not much else we can say but I know I want ten of them. This also makes us wonder what happened to Android @ Home, which was announced at Google I/O 2011.
