With a few final tweaks to LiveSpark’s custom iPad application we’re ready to test it in the lab. Here’s a video of what our Flame Elements will be doing inside the Chandelier.

Some great coverage from the Bay Area’s Fox affiliate KTVU.  They came to the workshop for a behind-the-scenes look at the LiveSpark Chandelier, our new iPad application, and how we make our digitally controlled fire.

And there’s a slideshow with some nice stills:

Now we have the capability to control LiveSpark Flame Elements, including all our installations such as fireplaces, fire pits, torches, and our new chandelier via iPhone or iPod Touch. Here’s a quick demo. The latency is a bit high here but we think we can get that down considerably. Next step is to build a fancy interface for a sweet remote control. I think we should offer a free iPod Touch (or maybe even an iPad) with each fire installation we sell.
