Abstract

In computer games, there is typically a display (104) that represents a view into a virtual world of some type. There is also typically a user (101) in a real world environment that surrounds the display screen (104) interacting with the virtual world. Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using lighting systems (105), in particular LED based lighting systems, to allow a user to receive information from the virtual world in coordination with, in addition to, and/or instead of the information received from the display.
