VLC-based light-weight portable user interface for in-house applications

Advances in solid-state lighting have overcome common limitations on optical wireless such as power needs due to light dispersion. It´s been recently proposed the modification of lamp´s drivers to take advantages of its switching behaviour to include data links maintaining the illumination control they provide. In this paper, a remote access application using visible light communications is presented that provides wireless access to a remote computer using a touchscreen as user interface.
