Abstract
A method can include: determining a physical location of each of a plurality of peripheral devices communicatively coupled to a host computing device; generating a lighting sequence configured to activate visual output elements on the each of the plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the lighting sequence is a time based sequence that traverses the plurality of peripheral devices; and modifying a timing parameter of the lighting sequence based on the respective physical location of each of the plurality of peripheral devices. In some cases, modifying the lighting sequence can include: determining a distance between at least two of the plurality of peripheral devices and modifying the timing parameter of the sequential pattern based on the distance between the at least two of the plurality of peripheral devices.
