- What's up guys, Jay and David here.
In this episode of App or Crap
we're going to be taking a look at the Hue Disco App
which works with a Phillips Hue lights.
- Now, in case you haven't heard of Phillips Hue already,
they're WiFi-enabled smart bulbs that let you produce
over 16 million colors using your smartphone.
And this app is supposed to help take that experience
to the next level.
So in this video, we're gonna take a look at the three
key features this app supposedly brings to the table.
- [Voiceover] Feature number one, moods.
Preset lighting designs that help you set the mood
for different types of environments.
For example.
(reggae music)
I'm really hungry.
- Yeah.
(slow music)
♫ Yeah
♫ Mm
Change it.
♫ Mm
- Hey man look at all these Christmas lights I found.
I mean, do you think we should--
Ah, mother (bleep)!
Feature number two, adaptive lighting.
Using your phone's microphone, the lights change
based on what it hears.
Such as,
stupid David throw presents at me
like a Harlem Globe Trotter, or something.
What's wrong with that guy?
(gunfire)
- [Voiceover] Take him out!
(dance music)
(laughing)
(hard rock music)
- I'm gettin' dizzy.
(laughing)
(celebratory music)
- [Voiceover] Feature number three, strobe.
Have your lights flash on and off
in a number of different ways, like--
(house music)
Turning your house into a rave.
♫ Stop this fucking beat
♫ Now just stop this fucking rave
♫ Have to stop this fucking move
♫ Never stop until the break ♫
Or, what usually happens after those parties--
♫ Whoo, whoo
♫ That's the sound that I want is
♫ Whoo, whoo
♫ That's the sound of the base ♫
All right, dude.
So after messing around with this app a little bit,
what do you think?
Is it app, or is it crap?
- It's cr--
No, it's an app.
It's an app, and I think that's pretty--
- Agreed.
- Pretty obvious.
- Agreed.
- But it isn't perfect.
There are a few cons.
The first of which is it's not a free app.
That kinda sucks, right?
But for what you're getting, I can't complain.
- Right.
- And I guess the only other con that I can think of
is it's not necessarily perfect.
It doesn't switch with the sounds exactly in-tune.
- [Voiceover] Yeah.
- [Voiceover] It kinda goes more so
off of the peaks, you know?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, when it overlaps sounds,
it's a little kind of hectic.
It doesn't really go with the beat as much--
- Yeah, exactly.
But the pros.
- The pros, I mean you get to control your house.
It's a freakin' light show in your house.
You can't really--
What more do you want?
I mean, you guy lights for this reason,
and yet this one does it for you.
- I think there's a difference.
The Phillips Hue App that comes with the lights--
- Yeah.
- It lets you control your lights.
But this one lets you program your lights.
It actually does something with your lights.
So first thing I want to show everybody
when they come into the studio--
- Yeah.
- Come go to my house, it's check this out,
I can turn my house into a disco.
- They have a lot of options here,
and because you could customize it yourself,
the world's your oyster.
Is that the term?
Oyster.
- The world's your oyster.
Yeah.
- Yeah, okay.
- Anyways, that is it for us in this video.
Thank you guys for watching,
and we'll see you in the very next episode
of App or Crap.
(ambient music)
- Do you think we should do a holiday--
Oh!
Mother fucker.
God, that actually hurt.
You hit the fucking corner of my head.
Ah.
