Abstract
A method, apparatus, and user interface for providing a network based surround-light environment to dynamically drive lighting scenes are described. Location information of one or more illuminating elements relative to a display for presenting media information is determined. Lighting characteristic information for the one or more illuminating elements is determined. And a lighting profile for illuminating the one or more illuminating elements based on the location information and lighting characteristic information is determined.
