26. Concepts
Ambilight
Gaming
This concept takes Philips Ambilight
technology and uses it to enhance the
gaming experience. The idea is that
ambilight changes the color around
the TV set in relation to the pixels
displayed at the time. We can take
this concept one step further and
allow game developers to tap into this
technology to change ambilight colors
based on what is happening at various
points in a video game. For example,
in a first person shooter, the ambilight
system can be used as radar to let the
user know which direction enemies are
attacking at.
Duane Rollins | Strategic Design Language | Prof. Kim
27. Concepts
Light-Air TV
The idea behind this concept is to
make the TV smaller in order for the
user to save space in close quarters. It
also would require Philips to develop a
new technology to project TV in midair
without the use of a wall for contrast.
In this concept, a small box is the base
of the projector light. The box would
be able to be set an any orientation
and then project a “screen” of light into
midair a few feet away (the user would
be able to set this). This concept
would allow the user to havve a bigger
TV that takes up less space and open
up more ways for them to utilize their
space in the home.
Duane Rollins | Strategic Design Language | Prof. Kim
28. Concepts
Pushing Apps to
the TV
In this concept, Android and iOS
devices would be able to push their
screens to Philips TVs via a WiFi
connection. This would make sharing
and consuming content easier while
in the home. This would be useful
for playing games, sharing photos, or
reading articles.
Duane Rollins | Strategic Design Language | Prof. Kim
29. Concepts
Integrating
Twitter into the
TV
This concept is allowing the user to
bring up their Twitter while watching
TV. This would allow them to connect
with friends and talk about the show
while it is on. It would allow for
greater interaction with friends while
watching routine shows.
Duane Rollins | Strategic Design Language | Prof. Kim
30. Concepts
TV Suggestions
Service
This concept focuses on the scenario
when you want to watch something
on TV but you have no idea what to
watch on certain days when your
favorite shows aren’t on. This service
will take the Netflix/ Amazon/ Pandora
model and suggest shows that are on
TV that are similar or recommended
baised on other shows that you have
watched or like.
