Build a gesture-controlled room light with a joystick and Arduino
A developer created a gesture controller using an Arduino Nano and a joystick to control LED strip brightness and color. The project costs about NT$355 ($11) and uses a WS2812B LED strip. It maps joystick movements to lighting changes, turning the room into an interactive space.

A clever DIY project, but not novel—similar gesture-controlled lighting exists commercially; the value is in the low-cost, hands-on learning experience.
