I don't see Philips Hue in the partner list. It's not the only one, but it's a big one. I've been experimenting with Hue/Kodi integration for something very similar to this (change ambient room lighting based upon video content), but the latency is a bit too unpredictable due (I think) to the limited command processing abilities of the Hue Hub.
I would love Phillips Hue integration with Razer Chroma and one of the main reasons I bought alot of products from the razer chroma line is because I had a very strong feeling that they would eventually work together to add a new reason to buy both there products as it would entise new communities such as the pc gaming community and the home automation (smart home) community. I am looking forward to there partnership. Even though Razer announced the partnership today in there new project Ariana video this is not the first hint of there partnership their was a video 6 months ago on the official Razer youtube channel they displayed Overwatch integration with the Blackwidow Chroma hooked up to a Phillips Hue wireless table lamp.
The demo at Razer's CES booth does include Philips Hue lighting though. Plus they showed it working with Chroma at E3, 6 months ago like Tyronita said.
I was sorry to see Phillips deprecate Ambilight for the PC (whilst still using it on TVs). Though there are several home-made imitations, this looks more promising & expansive (unless Microsoft haven't given up on their similar version)...
Well im hoping that NZXT Hue+ will soon be using the Chroma sdk, as I currently have hue+ and Razer's Blackwidow Chroma Stealth and Mamba TE and Firefly Cloth.
This CES is turning out to be bringing record numbers of the most stupid, ridiculous ideas ever. WTF rather than WOW :) Are we really out of ideas? Is the progress over?
This'll probably be too expensive for what it does, but I've enjoyed ambient lighting effects before when comparing the experience of watching a projected film in a black-painted theatre versus a white-painted room at home. I noticed I preferred the white room because when it was an outdoor scene, the room was also bright and blue-ish. When the film was in a forest, the whole room got a greenish glow. It was actually quite good.
I'm intrigued by this because it would enhance peripheral vision and provide a contrast enhancement to a dark room. Hopefully it's cheap, and maybe can project a movie to a blank wall.

This looks ridiculously stupid, but to each his own I guess.SunnyNW - Thursday, January 5, 2017 - link
Reminds me of Illumi-room(not sure if that is correct) from Microsoft which was shown off a few years ago, I thought it seemed somewhat promising.r3loaded - Thursday, January 5, 2017 - link
Man, they're not going to stop until even your cat and toaster have RGB lighting.BrokenCrayons - Thursday, January 5, 2017 - link

This is antithetical to the massive tidal force that is Virtual Reality.The case could be made that it is a boneheaded version of augmented reality.
That being said, I have large Nanoleaf system so I will be any easy target here.

Can it even work as a standard projector?
