Abstract
According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s) which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled in cooperation with virtual/augmented reality device(s), by: providing a repository of operating data files for the sources, coupled with the lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for a source among the lighting sources, retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and detecting a virtual/augmented reality signal from the virtual/augmented reality device(s), indicative of the fact that the virtual/augmented reality device is gazing at and/or is recognizing the selected lighting source, and operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and of the virtual/augmented reality signal.
