Video Transmission Using Low-Cost Visible Light Communication

Published: 02 July 2019 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we document the demo of the latest version of OpenVLC, a low-cost platform for communicating using Visible Light, and we prove we can transmit video with it. This paper shows the setup used, the behavior of each of its components, and the results expected. This is the first time video transmission has been possible with OpenVLC and to the best of our knowledge, the first time it has been done with low-cost components.
