Me today: Shitty Wi-Fi, can only watch videos at 144p
Future people: Shitty Li-Fi, can only watch videos at 4K at 60 FPS
LMAO
Stop whining child.
^^ Salty.
I remember 56K dial ups and downloading a 5mb song took 20 min.
Fuck we had no video but flash games
you must have had some good brand modem, us robotics or what? I had 14kbs modem and the ISP was giving like half kbs most times
Next: GR-Fi
GR = Gamma Ray
Maximum speed: ~500 Terrabytes per picosecond.
Sure, the radiation would kill you almost instantly, and you'd need an insane amount of electrical current, but it would work! Amirite?
Rate 10/10 would gamma again -IGN
I bet if you started a kickstart on this you would be fully backed in a hour
+AmateurTH-camr It can kill you? I thought it just turns you into the Hulk.
+Noel Tirado i hope tou are joking
Truly hit my funny bone with this comment 😅
LiFi security?
Curtains.
Or just stick someone's fat ass in there ... supposedly it doesn't travel well though flesh (more precisely through the water in the body). xD

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BillAnt That's 5G, this is light (light can't go through flesh either but it's not the water, light can go through water)

2021 still waiting for Li-Fi
Li-Fi looks to be yet another disruptive technology, this time in communication. Just to clarify, Li-Fi will probably work alongside Wi-Fi and not replace it completely. Though with a download speed of 18 movies in one second, it's a lot faster!
Enjoy the video.
You are again the best
LiFi works with wifi?
You are seriously epic mahn. Great job and continue doing this.! Loved the last Tata video too
+ColdFusion Thank you for always making highly knowledgeable content
Great video but I'm not sure if I heard anything about security
someone behind the curtain just hit pause when he put his hand under the light.
Andrew Keener Yeah if the wifi is so good shouldnt it have already been able to stream the whole thing even if "LiFi" Was disconnected? Like shouldnt it have preloaded the rest of the vid
3 years later... This Li-Fi seems like a lie...
*4
Well... I wouldn't say it's a lie, it just seems really inconvenient. Wi-Fi IS good exactly because it goes through walls and in all directions. I can't really imagine any circumstance where Li-Fi is usable, except for lab conditions. For a stationary pc - if you can run a wire for Li-Fi to a nearest lamp, you can probably just run wired connection to that pc anyway. For a laptop or phone - any obstruction, or angle change has non-illusory chance to mess up connection.
So, it's not "a lie", it's just... Why?
Haha right
Lie-fi
@@ydziros try using wifi in a enterprise environment and it is rubbish. I hope Wifi 6 is better but i dont think that will provide a good service with the ever increasing data demands of systems.
ColdFusion, I was on your channel when you had 50k followers. It's crazy how far you went! you are an inspiration!
The future future people will be saying oh insecure lifi is and how we need to make to something 1000x faster... gamma rays
and their bodies will just be radiation protected robot exoskeletons, so they'll use it
That's how the apocalypse will start

Im watching this in the year 2169 we got su-fi now with download and upload speeds of 1terabyte a second.
We download genes now
I'm from the year 2369, and we don't have to worry about data transfer, all of reality is now a multiverse simulation run by algorithms built into the quantum structure of matter it's self. Everything just runs it's self.
pssssh 1tbps is laughable. 90pbps is where it's at
I live in 2469, and earth is no longer exist. i'm one of the lucky person who made their way to another planet 1 trillion light years away from earth. Sometime I go to the old Earth's moon for vacation and I am able to communicate with the new earth in real time.
Guys... im 4735... we created thousands of planet, and we got Wo-Ho-Fi, the speed of *Worm Hole Fidelity* is 1 Yotabyte per 1 zepto second. and 1 thing i want to tell you... CRISPR really safe our species until now!

Since discovering ColdFusion TV about a week ago I have watched soooo many of Adgogo’s incredible videos that I actually noticed a reused clip at 6:14 when a Vince Vaughn looking dude is walking down the street. That’s not a critique, it’s actually respect. I make videos too and I have to applaud ColdFusion TV for the incredible research and countless hour put into both gathering the footage, editing the videos and making us all so much more educated... FOR FREE!!! Every subscriber & viewer here is smarter because of this channel. Thank you.
Downloading a movie within seconds. Shadow falls on the device at 99.9%
lol
One big shadow!
you just said it takes seconds to download the movie, in worst case you just do it again
misium Its about how irritating downloads can be. :P
Just get a cybernetic eye. Then you could just beam the internet directly into your brain by staring at the light bulbs for a few hours.
So you want optic fibre without the cable. The cable is there for a reason: it's more stable.
Kaleb Bruwer why are you against this
But light bulbs are more abundant and accessible so with proper redundancy this can actually work really well esp. for rural areas.
Bhoopati Baboo
1: You lose connection whenever something passes between you and the lightbulb, Imagine playing games like that!
2: This system is still going to be bottlenecked by the speed at witch your lightbulb communicates with the server, witch does not benefit from this technology and IS our present bottleneck already.
3: Why is this better in candle-lit rural areas?
Cody Nemo, in 1999 the UK considered 33k more than adequate, 4mb isn't anywhere near the requirement for multiple devices streaming 4k in house hold (e.g 3x TVS + 4x hand held), nevermind taking into account multiple devices 4k+ uploads requirements.
What if they build a device that you could mount on your console or laptop that produces the light, like a stick on flashlight, problem solved.
its 2019
it Li-ED
Hello, person from 2020, organisations are looking into li-fi as it's much more secure than wifi as it cannot get through walls also the speeds at which data can be transferred is alot better
@@goodchap4537 people can use fibre waves sensors to collect the data from lifi so its not that safe
Haha. I see what you did there.
@@goodchap4537 I'm a person from 2021 and I'm doing a research project for Boeing on Lifi so yes it is more secure and it just takes a long time to get a new system like this in place, people expect change to happen over night but innovation takes a lot of time to really take place
100x faster than wi-fi. That alone makes it a great idea.
Right, but someone's fat ass blocking the signal makes it a bad idea.
is only 2x faster😂
It's not 100x faster...not yet anyway.
No this video sucks. Wifi can go to 1000mbps+. Lifi is 100mbps. Eew
@@luhiko5923 only nasa has that fast wifi
Say goodbye to good old days of watching porn in the dark XD
did you watch the video? the light can be transmitted at a brightness not perceivable by human eyes.
Kaffi O I was just making a joke. I saw the whole video
just dim the lights
+Kaffi O Lets have a moment of silence for people who dont understand jokes
+Anshuman Jain =(
This is all talking about downlink.
What about uplink? The other half of the WiFi equation.
Consider. What is your uplink internet speed, its slower. Why not use a different colour (IR?) Led for uplink.
i have that same question. and then there is the line of sight issue. its just like sending internet via lasers.
one potential option i have just thought of is to have multiple sensors around a room, and the mobile device will be able to emit light signal in any orientation, because in nearly every plane, a sensor would be able to capture the signal.
and to further that, all street lamps could be converted to send/receive signals. so it wouldn't be a long distance interface, but more like a localized net, meant for high traffic zones. but, it is cheap. u just need a modified modem and led lamps for the transmission, and then receiver sensors for the reception. then connect to the net.
the main advantage would be the speed, and that would only really be useful if 20 people want to live stream 4k at the same time in the same place.
Ashmeed Mohammed Imagine if they were all on a mesh network...
Only the visible light spectrum theoretical bandwidth today is around 100 ZB/s. That's all 2015 year world data traffic times 100, but in a second!!! If you leave 2 of the 7 visible colors reserved for uplink it's more than enough
Rapbando the infrared band makes it 3x wider.

@@omerjamalelden2012 ok geek
I like that wifi goes through walls, kind of its main selling point is that it's not typically hindered by physical obstructions, meaning you have more freedom while still being connected.
South Korea's world record internet speeds are only 100Mbits/s? Come on, it has to be faster than that.
+Sal3600 Thanks for picking that up! I was supposed to say: "South Korea has a world record STANDARD internet speed of 100Mbp/s." I've added a correction note in the description.
+Sal3600 I have 1Gbps in Romania :)
+ColdFusion It would also be nice to make an annotation :)
+Viorel Ianasi is that over wifi? If so you must be from the future because no current router would be able to do that consistently if at all
+Sal3600 look at something interesting about Europe : speeds up to 500 Mbps not just 100 as in Korea !!! www.romania-insider.com/broadband-internet-romania/147305/ or this one from an internet provider www.upc.ro/internet/abonamente/fiber-power-500/ .....
Who needs a life when you got LiFi? 😂
+kevin eusebio clever girl
it is not going to work in dark
+Sexelon Sexelon You just turn on the light
+Sexelon Sexelon He said it could work in 'light' not visible to humans = Dark!
LOL
biggest problem with this - communication must be bidirectional, that means light bulbs will have to have ability not only to emit light, but also to receive; handset devices will have to have to have not only an "eye" to receive the light, but also a bulb on itself (not necessarily visible light bulb, maybe IR or UV) and that bulb must be quite powerful in order for it's beams to bounce off walls and floors.
Gotta appreciate the fact that even though there were 2 minor mistakes, you still managed to correct them both. Precise work, considering this is the first video ever i have seen from you that contains mistakes!
This is easily my favourite TH-cam channel, you put so much effort into all of your videos :)
This would be so impractical. The benefit of radio is that it passes through surfaces. ANYTHING opaque would stop visible light Internet...
However how many times do you find yourself in a dark room?... See?
There is also the problem of you'r device sending the data back , the internet is a 2 way street ! you will need light's and receptors everywhere in the room and a big light on you'r device to send the data back ! it's a stupid idea , and stupid people will take the fishbait and invest in this , so sad !
it's not stupid, and they will figure it out somehow (about the 2 way data)
yeah that's an advantage in wifi but, it also is a demerit for security reasons, as out of your room any one can access, and hack it and can steal your information,
this, property of being blocked by an opaque surface serves as a merit in lifi when you are more concerned about privacy,
on addition radio waves used for wifi are harmful which limits it's usability in radiation sensitive areas, like hospitals, aeroplanes, nuclear power plants. . .
Mark Polner , you can dim the light to negligible, if it's not at a far distance it's sensitive enough to handle your comfort.
Speed doesn't only depend on your Wifi, Gr-Fi or any other Lifi thing, It depends on your TCP/IP link speed too. Right now, Wifi with 802.11ac feature we can get max 1Gbps, and In future (means 1-2 years only) It will rise to more speed (ideally 10Gbps) and So, WiFi is very much mature and progressive thing. Nobody easily can replace it.
I was here before 10k now I've just come back to your channel I knew you'd make it congrats on a mil dude
Ayy, I'm from Estonia. I didn't know they used this technology there :o
Same, kinda baffled that we haven't heard of it, usually they brag about every tehnological thing here

Awesome video once again, very interesting
+SuperSaf TV Cheers mate!
+SuperSaf TV HI SAF :3
I watched your z5 Sony vids
+asher alegre I've one
+SuperSaf TV Why is it very interesting? All we got out of this was how to receive data. Not in any way shape or form how the device communicates back. How would we upload to the lightbulb? How would we have to reconfigure it?
We are talking about optical fiber through the air... That's not terribly interesting if the communication is mostly 1 directional. I'm not drilling holes in the ceiling to wire these things up... even if I did the wires would limit throughput, etc...
Well 2016 is ending, has the damn thing improved?

Apparently, current progress has reached 40 Gbps.
2017, light still can't pass through walls, what a waste.
It will be at least 2022 before it's comercialized

simple glass walls
I haven't heard much more regarding Lifi for ages! quite often this is how technological ideas die! you just suddenly realize it hasn't been spoken of for ages.
I just looked at a bunch of Amazon reviews. This is still in it's early stages. Some of the reviews were hard to understand (especially if you're not a tech person), but what I gathered was that people's bulbs were going out, this required some kind of subscription for "additional features" and they're far more expensive than one would expect- considering the aim is to change the world. Li-Fi is a cool concept, but i'll wait a bit longer...
3:26 _basically, it just codes light signals.. it turns them into complex language that programs a visual signal the projector uses_

Use the sun for Li-fi, internet for all.
don't let the aliens steal our internet
internet in day time only
It takes light from the sun 8 minutes to get to Earth. It would be more like massive lag for all.

they said you would use a light that is dark enough that you wouldn't be able to see it but your device would still work with it
Ikr i dont want a light show in my house.
Just focus the light on your device only, the device still emits light so you're never in complete dark anyways.
As he said, you can have a light on and not see it on
Your videos rock!! Very informative.

It's fiber communication without the glass?!
Pretty much
+Brian Thomas even faster
lbpfan950 Faster? How fast?
Brian Thomas
ill use google fiber as an example, its goes 1 Gb/s, Li-Fi cann go about 10 Gb/s
Comcast has Gigabit Pro they're offering 3Gbps actually. 2Gbps for the wired, and 1Gbps for wireless. It's a pretty cool offering, but IC what you mean 10Gbps is pretty fast. Fast enough to feed video to a small town.
Best TH-camr hands down ...you inspires me coldfuse
Awesome video, great explanation ))
Higher frequency= less range
Light can't penetrate opaque objects
i would just get a small light, make a shade for it around the receiver and just leave it on.
unless u have light everywhere
they said u could dim the light so the human eye wouldnt notice
I still wonder how do you upload thing to the internet though...
Kyro Lights? Yes. A Li-Fi transmitter? Probably not.
how about if i want to watch porn in a dark room? would this work?
spdzodzo you'd have to download it. In a millisecond.
Then you'd rethink your life quit watching that trash, and treat a girl the right way then live life happily ever after. Thanking LiFi for a life changing experience. :)
+立黄 pffffttt 😂😂😂
well the light wouldn't technically be off, it's just so dim that the human eye can't detect light but technology can still detect light, but wasting several years of your life watching porn is a stupid decision
Not watching the whole video, huh?
Writing back from 2020. Li-fi ain't still here. When?)))
Some evil forces are holding it back no doubt. Cause Wi-fi is dangerous to living things and they want to keep it around as long as they can. Wi-fi can be weaponized and used for population control.
@@BBBBBB-rd8gg load of BS you dumbphuck 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video. Could you please make a video on smart homes, or home automation technology and its future
Normal wi-fi is better. Why? Light doesn't go through walls.

+MRwooshhh cause its too slow! u won't be able 2 stream shit!!
Why is it Slower it's still light
i would love a where are they now video to see if these things are still being developed or if they have been abandoned
I like how the cameraman gets a closeup of the receiver, so everyone can see the magic happening.
You know what's even more convenient? Regular Wifi.
KNOWLEDGE!!!
+Sintech- - Tell me again, how many light bulbs do you have in your house? Do you really think LoS is really a problem when all the technology is is a flickering LED array?
+Sintech- - Put them in the ceiling! It's even easier if you live in a small apartment for the landlords to put this in every room.
+Mike Trieu (MegasChara) Where are these light bulbs all over your house getting their signal from? What is the point of using Li-Fi if you have to wire your entire house with a high-speed network to feed the light bulbs in every room? And how do the receiving devices send signals back the light bulbs?
Arioch IV Who said anything about another high-speed network? All you need to exchange is timing information on a periodic basis for TDMA signaling. You could achieve that with simple IEEE 802.15.4 (a.k.a. IoT) radios. As for transmitting from receiving devices, especially on mobile handsets, I'd imagine one could modulate the LED backlight on LCD-based displays or directly on AMOLED-based ones. If that turns out to be insufficient (not enough intensity), OEMs could integrate a dedicated Li-Fi LED array somewhere near the top of the device like some phones already do for IR blasters. It also doesn't have to be visible light, just invisible IR so as not to be totally annoying to nearby users.
So if all of us use this Lifi...
The earth will be the brightest planet...
brighter than sun
You said it
Brighter than your future
Black Bird Noodle brighter than ur life
Was it 20 years away? How energy inefficient is it compared to both 3 parrellel wifi sources and lights combined? Does it work outside or will phones still nead wifi when siting outside of a building? Do windows letting in sunlight ruin it?
Six years later I don't see this anywhere.
The question is would it be able to go through walls?
+Travis Younker NO.

+Tinman Pizza even if you did, I would have ignored you.
This is a great step forward in technology, but the world is still going to self destruct.
Bet
at least we can stream footage of the destruction with our lifi
How did you arrive at that conclusion? The world/Earth can't possibly self-destruct. That's nonsense. Human civilization might eventually come to an end but the world will still be here until the sun goes nova or a much larger celestial object collides with it. But worlds just don't spontaneously self-destruct.
I can see you take everything serious
metaspherz Well what about we change "self destruct" to "evaporate"?
or "faded"?
black hole wont last forever.
It a good idea but it isn't the servers that would hold up things, it would be the transmission from the provider down the wires. It would only provide service indoors and at home.
IT'S 2018 WHERE IS MY GODDAMN LIFI
what what if there's a wall? or you cause a shadow? lol
Or a moth blocking the light
you have a light in each room
I'm sure it could be figured out.
You can have a router with a light in your closet with your photo-light detector hooked up to your (ultra) high-speed router and connect from your device to said router :)
Then why not use a cable?
I heard something about a chip that will manage batteries in such a way that you could charge your phone in 10 minutes in Netlinked daily yesterday (I think). Multiple phone manufactures and Tesla have shown interest. What do you know about this and are you doing a video on it?
+Axel sypkens smit Look up Storedot, they're developing a battery that can charge in 60 seconds. Really cool stuff that could boost the electric car market
+Axel sypkens smit Graphene batteries?
+Axel sypkens smit That must be the graphene thing isn't it?
+Axel sypkens smit Graphene batteries if i'm correct?
This is absolutely necessary for local management networks. Extreme high data plus quality.
As in the TED talk, if you block the light source from the receiver, it just interrupts the transmission of data. so it also means that the receiver must be installed outside of the device, or at least be exposed to the light source.
so instead of a W, we get an L... 🤔🤔🤔
Alzeez underrated comment
so, you mean I can use 10 GB data with an led bulb but my phone must be underneath it. right?
wouldn't be hard in a city where there are lights everywhere. My guess is even street lamps that light up cities, towns and highways would have Lifi technology built into it
no... it means you can have super fast internet that you must be connected to, not 10gb data... also Kev - they could use other means to transfer the internet signals once li-fi has done it. its speed not quantity
It doesn't work you can receive data but can't transmit.So you will need a big light on you'r phone to send data back and a receptor everywhere in the room to recive you'r data back , and in the light of a day this Li-Fi doesn't work !
U wouldn't be able to see the light.
One big advatntage could be connecting lights with the seme data infrastructre. This would reduce the amount of wiring in a building.
7 years later. What's happened with this idea?
Put your phone into the pocket and the connection is dead
my point exactly
Maybe it just me, but don't people typically use the internet OUTSIDE of their pockets?
Okay, nvm. I think you have a point, you wouldn't be able to take skype calls, listen to music with your phone in your pocket etc.
Alicia Kankainen neither would you receive any email or other messages while your phone is in your pocket
+Vincent Oak Yeah, though I don't think that will be as big of a deal. If the internet speed is so extremely fast you would receive the message basically as soon as you pick your phone up.
You wouldn't be able to get a *ping* sound though, which will kind of suck. Perhaps they'll come up with some solution for this pocket problem.
Alicia Kankainen this is a really impractical way of doing things
There are more practical solutions that will drive this one into the great pit of forgotten lame ideas
He puts his hand between the receiver and the light source and the signal is blocked.
That's not a success.
Now, were he to put his hand between them and have the receiver still be able to detect the pulses from ambient light I may consider that a success.
Basically, you have to have the optics of the receiver in direct LOS to the source for this to work.
That's not a step up from Wi-Fi.
light is spreading and can go through man's hand or finger. So even he blocks the detector, the light still can be absorbed by the detector
Rainbow Pepe And yet it was not the case in this video
Because li-fi was only coming from that light only he even said it. if he had it on all the lights in the room then there wouldn't be a problem.
corthew u could use it for downloads and uploads tho
iam a bit late but i thing the receiver is build inside the lamp so nothing can blocked it.The creator at the event just demonstrated the way it works.
yea the banshee is an alarm radio that picks up visible light and makes noise if exposed to any light for safes and any closed black room
All electromagnetic waves (radio, light etc) move at the same speed in air... the speed of light. The difference is the frequency of the wave, that is how many peaks and troughs in a second. Each peak and trough can be used to signal on/off or digital states depending on the translators. On/off is binary, the basis of electronic communication, and a single "bit". So, the higher the frequency, the more bits per second can be transmitted. The issue isn't the transfer medium, it's the translators on either end. Mainstream WiFi uses 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals... which have the theoretical maximum throughput of 2.4 Gigabits per second and 5 Gigabits per second. Yes, LiFi can reach HUNDREDS of Gigabits per second in testing, but the translators on either end are still the bottleneck.
Think of it as your water supply to your house. The very large mains water pipeline running through the neighbourhood does gigalitres of water per hour. But, your tap can only do tens of litres per hour.
how would you upload something using Li fi though
+t800 Just like you do on a WiFi, wheres the problem?
Shayan well if I've understood correctly Lifi transfers data through light, so would i need a light on lets say my phone to upload data
t800 Hmm, true. Maybe thats why he said lifi wont completely replace wifi
You'd need another light at the receiving end to send things back and a receiver somewhere that's also connected to the internet.
+Fuzz944 Good idea, but I think the process of flickering a phone's screen at the rate described in the video would be murder on the battery.
watch dogs might actually be a reality soon
I could imagine tiny boxes that beam our phones light like an NFC tag and downloads all of our videos at once so we can enjoy them on the go.
So lights on everywhere? Including daytime?
Meanwhile average Joe in India is getting 512kbps :/
*sighs*
LMAO
***** I get 64mbps
Act
Aditya Ravishankar "Average" Indians..
not all are well fortuned nor their local ISP has the infrastructure to run fibernet.
Dam! 64mbps though :/ Lucky bastard!
+Tuhin Bagh I get 150 Mbps
I get 260 kbps
but what about shadows?
Watch 3:50
+Clemens Steinbauer It's an advantage and disadvantage.
People living next door or standing outside won't be able use your li-fi. But you just have to make sure you don't block the signal, which shouldn't be a problem if your transmitter is on the ceiling.
Either way, if you block the li-fi signal , then I'm sure that a shadow won't mean total signal loss. Light bounces off walls and objects into where the shadow is. That's why a shadow isn't completely black. There is still some light getting to the shadow, just at a lower intensity. The signal should still get there then but your internet speed may just decrease a bit.
+Jyson AW the problem i can see from this thing is, you cant use the internet. only for data transfer , try think , bulb give light to your phone(with light receptor) . but then, how the phone want to interact with the bulb? for example you want to open youtube, you must send request for youtube website, and if no request can be done, how the phone want to open youtube website? unless the bulb have light receptor too, and receive the light that phone created. the logic solve problem for me is , to combine Wi-fi and Li-fi . wifi for request, lifi for receiving data. what do you think?
M. de k.
if you want to open youtube website, you must request for it , so you need to upload the request to the server to be processed, then you will be downloading the data that been sended by the server . You understand how (download and upload kb/second) concept right? as you can see, the bulb cant receive your uploaded data since there is other way to do it.
ok you dont understand what im trying to say. okay , if i dont put my phone in my pocket, and the phone is under LiFi bulb, still i can do the uploading data process?
The Intro to me sounds like your watching confusingtv then i realized its coldfusion lol
the limitation of IoT wasn't band with these sensor transfer individually fairly little data. the issue is more IPv4 and data aggregation.
oh lol im the 40%> enhternet users
Guaranteed more faster than any of the technology he mentioned.
More faster xD
Isnt Ethernet the private network in a (big) company, for example Google? To transfer data between HQ which nobody else should see
+ManuTrollolol Nope. That's an INTRANET.
Ethernet is just a fancy way of saying "interconnected by cable", but most people are unaware of this and use the term completely wrong. xD
Oh okay, thanks! I heard Intranet before, mixed it up ^^
the next big thing: DARK FI!
Dark net...
epic.
DiFi
Dank-fi
I wonder when this will come to market and i'm curious if the you can "read" the transmitted data over a scope from far away ....
did a similar presentation for college seminar 5 years ago, and development's still in same stages
WOW! NOW I CAN PLACE 3937101 SPECIAL LIGHTS FOR INTERNET! AND IF MY SHADOW BLOCKS THE SENSOR I WONT GET ANY RECEPTION!! I ALSO CAN ONLY RECEIVE BIT NEVER SEND!!! BUT AS LONG AS IT DELIVERS WHAT EVER THAT NUMBER WAS IM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Said no one ever... just use optical fiber in the office for high speeds Aaaaand you're sorted!
You don't use "special lights" and you only need like 1 light per room looool
Looool. About the sending bits part... I never even considered that.. The lights need to be special if you want to send bits.
that'd why in cold fusions comment he said they would work together more likely then not
+Anas Malas you could also just have more than one light per room to make sure you dont block off your connection with your hand or anything else.
It has advantages but yes wifi will still be a thing for being more accessible.
But how do you upload using this? Using normal wi-fi?
EDIT: Thinking about it again, I don't think a phone will be able to upload using li-fi, and it's the data you send (searches, passwords, naked selfies, bank details etc.) that needs to be protected more than downloads. So I just can't see how this can be more secure than wi-fi.
I'm thinking that there would just need to be a receiver and your phone would have an LED display (so amoled and such). The phone would need the ability to pulse incredibly quickly which would be done using MEMS (unless current technology can already switch fast enough).
+Oscar Conroy (Racso562) yeah, but smartphones are in our pockets? I think no light will be transferred in to our pockets? So how are they gonna solve that problem?
+HDPhotography Ah! I see what you mean now. That's a good point. I think this tech would add to WiFi, but not replace it. WiFi would still be the best option for uploading from our pockets.
+Oscar Conroy (Racso562) that's the same thought I had about Li-fi, it's just gonna be a great add-on for the WiFi maybe like desktops that are constantly in the same position or something similar
***** I said "more secure"... meaning: how can it be more secure than wi-fi.
Are there any new updates you could tell us about? I am sure there had to be something between Nob of '15 and now.
I wonder what the range on that Li-Fi is.
As far as light goes
So many fucking issues with this. UHF penetration, attenuation, reliability, interference to name a few. There's a reason IF is confined to straight line beam systems.
UltimateXtreme u can say same thing for radio waves but we still use them , if your eyes could see radio waves you would see a soup of random bullshit
UltimateXtreme what's IF please?
marko lukić light has externally shot wave in nanometers ... ( Normal wifi had around 20 cm wave ) don't know how I will be works in movement ....
Have you ever heard about optic cables?
Yes, but you're gonna lose connection to the server every time there is something between your device and the lightbulb.
Any gamer can be driven to rage quitting if their game freezes every few minutes.
Kaleb Bruwer if you put a while room with these lights the light will get to the receiver if you don't place anything on top of the receiver
This tech works in a very specific and rare environment. It has all the disadvantages of optic cable and wifi + can't do anything withh walls or coners.
This tech is too sensitive. The reason we use radio signals is because it is a more robust system.

Needing very direct unimpeded visible line of sight is a huge weakness. This is a very neat trick to perform in a controlled experiment, but impossible to deploy in actual use cases. This is never gonna leave the lab until the weakness is overcome.
Hey thanks! This is excellent info!
