Break your television and monitors free from the confines of their edges with Hyperbian! LEDs behind your screen that MATCH the video you're watching. This is an open-source ambient light software that will improve the way you enjoy your favourite media. Let me show you exactly how I set up my Ambilight set-up here and teach you how you can do something similar at home. And all without soldering! Hyperion for the Raspberry Pi ∴ Hyperion + Raspbian = Hyperbian! There is a lot of differing information out there but I will show you exactly what I used and how you can do it too. This is a very sweet setup that you can have too! The example here has 250 LEDs on the back of a little monitor but you do not need to use such a dense LED strip to get a great effect. One major point to remember. This will only work for HDMI devices and will not work for your Television's native UI. You can also use this setup as an eye strain relief particularly if you are like me watching movies in the dark, I find my eyes get tired faster than if the house lights are on. If you project a simple soothing yellow tone behind your television it will ease pressure on your eyes and let you get to sleep faster after your movie.
