Example systems and methods to transform events and/or mood associated with playing media into lighting effects are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a content identifier to identify a first event occurring during presentation of media content at a first time. The example apparatus includes a content driven analyzer to determine a first lighting effect to be produced by a light-producing device based on the first event and instruct the light-producing device to produce the first lighting effect based on the first event during presentation of the media content. The content identifier is to identify a second media event occurring during presentation of the media content at a second time after the first time. The content driven analyzer is to instruct the light-producing device to one of maintain the first lighting effect based on the second event or produce a second lighting effect based on the second event during presentation of the media content.

A controller for real-time visual display of music includes a music analysis module and a display control module. The music analysis module receives an audio input, determines human perceived musical structures, human felt affect and emotion as a function of the audio input, and outputs a signal corresponding to the determined structure, affect and emotion. The display control module is operatively coupled to the music analysis module and receives the signal and controls a visual display as a function thereof to express the determined musical structure, affect and emotion in a visual manner.

A micro flame effects unit (MFEU) includes a solenoid valve, an ignition coil, and a pair of electrodes. The ignition coil is to receive a voltage to create a spark between end portions of the electrodes. The solenoid valve is to receive a voltage to release gas, the spark and the gas to create a flame effect. An example flame thrower pipe organ (FTPO) includes a set of cylindrical members with a micro flame effects unit (MFEU) located within each cylindrical member. The FTPO further includes a set of keys that provide a sound when a key of the set of keys is played. A control device causes an MFEU to release a flame effect concurrent with the sound of a corresponding key being played. The FTPO may be automated with a self-playing system.

Systems and methods for visualizations of music may include one or more processors which receive an audio input, and compute a simulation of a human auditory periphery using the audio input. The processor(s) may generate one or more visual patterns on a visual display, according to the simulation, the one or visual patterns synchronized to the audio input.

A lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light source unit; a first communication unit for receiving library data from a mobile terminal; a storage unit for storing the library data; a second communication unit for receiving a control message indicating an execution command of a library corresponding to the library data from a control device; and a processor for controlling the light source unit such that the library is executed according to the control message, wherein the processor can control operation timing of the light source unit by sequentially receiving the control message at least a predetermined number of times at the initiation of the execution of the library.

Systems and methods for firework water illusions are disclosed. In one aspect, a device for creating an illusion of rotary pyrotechnics includes at least one nozzle configured to rotate about an axis of the device and spray water in a radial direction while rotating. The device can also include a water supply configured to provide the water to the at least one nozzle and a lighting system configured to illuminate the water sprayed from the at least one nozzle to create an illusion of rotary pyrotechnics.

There is provided an apparatus configured to control a plurality of light emitting elements so that the light emitting elements display a lighting behavior. The apparatus includes a control portion operable to generate an instruction sequence. The instruction sequence controls the lighting behavior of the light emitting elements. The instruction sequence can include a plurality of lighting instructions. The control portion can include a first input portion and an option portion. The first input portion generates a first lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions and the option portion can be operated by, for example, a user to present a second input portion for generating a second lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions. The lighting behavior displayed by the light emitting elements can have a lighting sequence which is based on the instruction sequence where the first lighting instruction is followed by the second lighting instruction.
