Place Lamp: HUE hack



Seattle-based designer Samuel Stubblefield created a cylindrical lamp prototype that lets the user connect it to their smartphones and set up several digital geofences around it to enable the lamp to communicate the user’s whereabouts. The Place Lamp is a hacked full-color cylindrical LED bulb that connects to the user’s office WiFi and to their smartphone through an app, and changes color depending on the distance of the user relative to the lamp. The lamp glows brighter as the user gets closer to the office, and eventually glows the brightest and functions as a table lamp when the user finally arrives at their desk. The lamp turns off when the user leaves the office.
