Abstract

Example embodiments for interactive lighting handshakes are described herein. An example interactive system may detect a user in a position proximate to an interface of the system and responsively determine an area that encompasses the position of the user. The interactive system may further cause a light system to illuminate the determined area using a light handshake. In some instances, the interactive system may perform a lighting handshake by illuminating a given aspect of the interface of the system and subsequently extending the illumination in a visual presentation from the interface to further encompass the position of the user.
