Abstract
In some embodiments, a system comprises a host computing device and an audio device communicatively coupled to the host device and including at least one speaker and a plurality of light emitters. The host computing device can include a processor(s) and one or more machine-readable, non-transitory storage mediums with instructions configured to cause the processor(s) of the host computing device to perform operations including receiving user environment data by one or more sensors of the host computing device, receiving user selection data corresponding to a selected mode of operation of the audio device, determining a characterization profile of a surrounding environment of the user based on the user environment data, and sending the characterization profile to the audio device, the characterization profile configured to cause the audio device to control the plurality of light emitters based on the characterization profile and the selected mode of operation.
