@atpfm@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social Your panel thingy sorts nicely into the i-didn’t-make-this-up category of “ambient devices”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_device The first I heard of was the Ambient Orb, saw it on Boing Boing back when Boing Boing was a thing to read. It’s a wifi-connected sphere that can take any feed and then glow a different color based on your criteria. https://www.perceptualedge.com/blog/?p=171
