1. A system, comprising:
- a console that comprises a processor that executes logic to control a plurality of nodes to reproduce a virtual lighting scheme of a virtual environment in a physical user environment, in which the console;
recognizes a location of each node in the plurality of nodes in the physical user environment; and
monitors and controls operation of each node in the plurality of nodes such that light emitted by each node in the plurality of nodes is associated with light conditions of the virtual environment; and
each of the plurality of nodes comprising;
a light emitting device;
a receiver that communicatively couples the node to the console; and
a processor that executes logic to control the light emitting device.
