CES 2015: Stuff interviews George Yianni, creator of the Philips Hue lightbulb

We chew the fat with the man who's just invented 'light soundtracks' for movies

During the past week, Stuff has been running interviews on the International News Stage at CES 2015, the biggest and craziest technology show in the world.

It’s rare that a lightbulb becomes a technology phenomenon, but that’s precisely what Philips Hue is now. Stuff Editor-in-Chief Will Findlater spoke to George Yianni, head of Connected Lighting at Philips about surround lighting for movies, new devices that work with Hue (such as Nest’s Protect alarm) and what’s coming next for the connected home. Check out the full video below.

About

Will is a contributing editor and ex-Editor-in-Chief of Stuff. He's been here a while: since 2004, in fact. Things have changed a fair bit since then, although he still gets ribbed for his ongoing respect for 'pioneering' Windows Mobile PDAs. He lives in hope that a new gadget will some day emerge that excites him as much as his Amiga did when he was nine. (The iPhone came pretty close.)
