# Movement-Detecting Lamps The 'ROOME' Gesture Control Lamp Responds to Your Gestures and Motion By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gesture-control References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/roome-worlds-first-gesture-controlled-smart-lamp/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/736405065/roome-the-worlds-first-gesture-controlled-smart-la) Available now for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/werobot-pino-lamp), the 'ROOME' [gesture control lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emit) is designed to be the world's first that will intuitive detect your movements and respond accordingly. Lamps are rather simple in design with an on/off function being the main feature and not much else. We're seeing more lamps and bulbs with connectivity functions, but none with a responsive design like the 'ROOME.' The 'ROOME' will turn on when you enter a room and turn off when you leave. It can automatically detect if a bit of illumination is required or if you're gesturing for the light to be increased or decreased. It makes an [ideal nightlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-lamp) as it can be operated entirely by gesture control rather than forcing users to fumble with switched or triggers in the dark. The 'ROOME' lamp is currently available for preorder for just $49. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gesture Control:** The development of gesture control technology opens up opportunities for innovative and interactive products in various industries. - **Responsive Design:** The integration of responsive design in lamps and other products creates a more seamless and intuitive user experience. - **Connected Lighting:** The increasing trend of connected lighting allows for enhanced functionality and automation in lighting systems. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home:** Gesture control lamps can disrupt the smart home industry by providing intuitive and convenient lighting solutions. - **Interior Design:** The integration of responsive lamps can revolutionize the field of interior design by offering unique and dynamic lighting options. - **Electronics:** Connected lighting technologies create opportunities for the electronics industry to develop innovative and intelligent lighting products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp.md) - [Connectable Motion-Sensing Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briteman-giangle.md) - [Shape-Shifting Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [AI-Powered Tracking Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/werobot-pino-lamp.md) - [Built-In AI Camera Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/builtin-ai-camera-lamp.md) - [Futuristic LED Lava Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonside-lamp-one.md) - [Touch-Enhanced Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolita.md) - [Interactive Blooming Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp.md)
