Something similar to this was commercialized as lightpack: https://lightpack.tv

The first version of lightpack was usb driven, and it’s software (prismatik) is open source: https://github.com/woodenshark

I was an early backer, and my Lightpack is still working just great. I don't drive it from Prismatik though, I use Boblight... although I see that it hasn't been developed in a while.

I also have the 1st-gen lightpack, but just use it as 'bias' lighting set to one static color. For some reason never got around to making it more programmable to track time-of-day.
