DIY Ambilight clone

A light entertainment system for my room! Ambilight casts colorful lights on the wall behind the screen. The colors correspond to the colors displayed on the screen.

It is a clone of Philips Ambilight. Written a few years ago (= poorly coded, please don't judge!) in C# and C++/CLI, built with a Teensy board, an LED strand and a sheet of acrylic cut to the shape of the screen.

Besides looking great and creating an immersive experience, Ambilight reduces the eye strain associated with looking at a bright screen in an otherwise dark room.
