Abstract
Example methods and systems for controlling three-dimensional lighting arrangements are described. One example method includes a method is provided that involves (1) receiving by a computing system location data indicating a respective location of each of a plurality of light sources within a volume, (2) receiving by the computing system an indication to provide a geometric lighting arrangement, where the geometric lighting arrangement comprises a plurality of points having a pre-determined spatial relationship, (3) determining by the computing system a respective location, within the volume, of each point in the geometric lighting arrangement, where at least one of the light sources corresponds to each point, and (4) for each light source that corresponds to one of the points, controlling by the computing system the light source such that a light beam from the light source illuminates the location of the corresponding point within the volume.
