Although the conversations about Bluetooth® Smart at CES 2015 earlier this month centered around the connected home, the possibilities it provides go far beyond it. CSRmesh™ enables a single mobile device to control a nearly unlimited number of Bluetooth Smart enabled devices that are networked together.
At our Connected World exhibit at CES 2015, we demonstrated the role that CSRmesh™ will play in the Internet of Things experience of the future. But we wanted to go outside the home to ambitiously illustrate its potential, so CSR collaborated with our partner Incipio to create a truly unique and memorable experience for its CES party at Life nightclub in Las Vegas.
We created 1,000 CSRmesh™ connected glow sticks to hand out to the event’s attendees. Inside of each glow stick was a simple LED light connected to a CSR1012™ chip.
With a custom app, the DJ was given the power to control every attendee’s glow stick to, for example, change the colors on-the-fly or display patterns in rhythm to the music. Because CSRmesh™ enables any device to relay a message to any other, the DJ’s messages were instantly spread across the entire colossal venue without worrying about range restrictions. As long as one glow stick was in range of another, the information was communicated.
In the Internet of Things, lighting, music and mobile devices can now interact in new and innovative ways to enhance the entertainment experience. CSRmesh™ makes it all possible.
Watch the video below to see CSRmesh™ light up the party.
