Abstract
Synchronization of effects across multiple devices using local, distributed control, and eliminating the need for central direction of the effects with the associated large bandwidth required. In one embodiment, each device stores data and instructions for creating its own effects. The devices periodically communicate with a host or each other to maintain synchronization, and compensate for any drift. This approach minimizes the use of bandwidth and battery power in the devices.
