Inventor Leif Percifield of Brooklyn,NY is tackling the task with the Visualight,an open-source Wi-Fi enabled light bulb that can visualize data as colored light.By representing incoming information as colored light,a change in color of the LED bulb brings new information to your awareness.Nothing could be more simple as to look up to receive the information you are looking for,eliminating the need to look up messages or loading webpages cluttered with ads on standard devices.
