Re: Proposal for ambient light

Dear Dominique, all,

Regarding ambient light (and also some other devices/APIs you're discussing recently, e.g., vibrator) I'd like to draw your attention to [1] which provides comprehensive information about "sensory experience". The data formats which we're using are standardized in MPEG-V Part 3 referred to as "Sensory Information" (defining sensory effects) and we have also implementations (annotation tool, stand-alone player, Web browser plugin) and datasets. All details you can find at [1] but I'm also happy to provide further details if needed.

Best regards,
 -Christian
