You can get Philips’ Hue lights to change color when you’re watching movies, so it only makes sense that they should also put on a show when you’re playing games, right?
Frima certainly thinks so. The studio has just added Hue syncing to its Xbox One platformer Chariot, adding an extra level of atmosphere to your adventures. When enemies attack, your bulbs will turn red; when you wander by blooming plants, the living room might go green.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Hue gaming experiences, and Will cost a more than a petty penny with a starter Hue kit typically costs $200.
However, this is probably the easiest way to ramp up the atmospheric effects while you play. Here’s hoping that more games experiment with lighting in the future.
