Thanks for the various responses Also adding http://www.oledcomm.com to my originals and Philips that was suggested.
Will certainly be interesting and fun if it goes ahead. I"ll tell them to try green lightbulbs, might be cheapest get a roll of green cellophane for existing lights. Good question though, It seems early on I can't see much Green gain, although the switch to LED lighting can be big this can be achieved with out li-fi... but that seems one of their points.. utilise existing energy systems rather than installing new ones. As it won't replace wifi, you still need wifi. I did find this pretty interesting.....wikipedia alert. "The first VLC smartphone prototype was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7–10 in 2014. The phone uses SunPartner's Wysips CONNECT, a technique that converts light waves into usable energy, making the phone capable of receiving and decoding signals without drawing on its battery.[39][40] A clear thin layer of crystal glass can be added to small screens like watches and smartphones that make them solar powered. Smartphones could gain 15% more battery life during a typical day. The first smartphones using this technology should arrive in 2015. This screen can also receive VLC signals as well as the smartphone camera.[41] The cost of these screens per smartphone is between $2 and $3, much cheaper than most new technology." -- Jason Cook Information Technology and Digital Services The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph : +61 8 8313 4800 CRICOS Provider Number 00123M ----------------------------------------------------------- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential and/or copyright.
