Problem
Existing smart lighting solutions for media consumption primarily rely on reactive screen mirroring, which often results in laggy, random color shifts that detract from the viewing experience. This approach fails to enhance the mood or narrative of video content, limiting the potential for truly immersive entertainment.

Unlike reactive mirroring, LYTVOX utilizes precise timecodes to map lighting cues to specific visual and audio moments, enhancing mood and storytelling.

This enables users to stream curated content, including concerts, films, and sports, with lighting that complements the action, amplifying the overall entertainment value.
