Abstract

A method for controlling an illumination system includes detecting a first position of a marker in image data. In response to the first position, a first light target for the first light emission is identified. Controlling a light assembly to direct the first light emission to the first light target and maintaining the first light emission directed to the first light target. The method further includes detecting a second position of the marker in the image data. A second light target for the second light emission is identified in response to the second position. The light assembly is controlled to direct the second light emission to the second light target.

Claims (2)

1. A method for controlling an illumination system comprising a light assembly configured to emit a first light emission and a second light emission, the method comprising: receiving an input to a user interface of a mobile device comprising a display and communicated to the illumination system; identifying a marker in image data in a first position in response to a location of the mobile device identified in combination with the input to the user interface; identifying a first light target for the first light emission in response to the first position; controlling the light assembly to direct the first light emission to the first light target; identifying the marker in the image data in a second position in response to the location of the mobile device identified in combination with the input to the user interface; identifying a second light target for the second light emission in response to the second position; and controlling the light assembly to direct the second light emission to the second light target.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: displaying the marker on the mobile device, wherein the detecting of the first position of the marker in the image data comprises tracking a location of the marker on the display device based on the image data.
