Ambient lightning for home cinema

This project includes design and implementation of a system that receives a video stream input and averages the colors of the pixels at the screen margins to get appropriate colors for LEDs in a LEDs chain that will be surrounding the screen.
In other words, we will surround the screen with LEDs and give each led a color that is similar to the pixels located near this LED.

Whenever we feel that we have some extra time, we start thinking about a movie ,a TV show to watch or have the experience of cinema but without actually going out, since this is considered a perfect way to spend time and relax from the different pressures of  life.

In this project we want to make this time even more special by adding extra lightning around the screens and giving cinema experience at home.

The lightning makes the screens look bigger and enhances the viewing experience. In addition, some people claim that this way makes it more convenient for their eyes to watch TV for long hours.

To achieve this goal we designed and implemented a system that receives a video stream as input and averages the colors of the pixels near the screen margins to get appropriate colors for the LEDs that will be added around the screen, in other words we get the video stream and extend the average of the margins into the lights in order to give the viewer full experience of the movie.

In addition this project can be upgraded to fit each TV in every house and enhance the watching experience.
