What will happen in your session?

Imagine only needing to hover under a street lamp to get public internet access, or downloading a movie from the lamp on your desk. This technology is currently in research but we have developed a prototype of LED bulb that is more secure and can transfer data, stream audio and images using just Light Bulbs. Moreover, there are some sensors connected inside the bulb to detect motion, smoke, PM 2.5 that makes the bulb smarter.

The session is basically a presentation cum demo of the prototype that will be displayed for the whole duration of the exhibition

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The audience will be made familiar with this technology of the future (LiFi). We will be displaying the hardware used in the bulb that we have designed a small workshop, that can be done by teaching them building their own LiFi enabled bulbs and even take the project further.
