“I wondered what would happen if I took the lamp, which uses a static color wheel on its remote control, and made a much more dynamic display on a smartphone.”

Pei-Yin Chao, Interaction Designer at Philips

“The world has been talking about the idea of a connected home for a while, but this is it. The more partners we work with the better, so we can start making the connected home a reality for more people.”

George Yianni, Technology Specialist at Philips Lighting

“Just because we can connect lights to the internet, why would we? The answer – and the essence of hue – is personalization. It gives people control and allows them to find the best use on their own.”

“With a system like this, which is so new and disruptive – so quite unfamiliar to people – we needed to give it a great personality.”
