Understanding how radio waves and WiFi signals travel through channels and frequencies invisibly in the air can be quite a challenge. Don’t attempt if you’re not a scientist, communication engineer, or whatever they call those geniuses that study such. As long as there’s Internet WiFi connection, you’re all good. You can survive in this crazy world so don’t dare complicate your life further.

But I know that curiosity looming over you, thinking about how signals travel. We can all stop wondering now and be able to visualize them with the help of a new app called Architecture Radio. It is yet to be available on Android but the iOS is now ready for download. The Android community will be able to download this in early 2016 but feel free to preview how the Architecture of Radio will display stunning visuals.

Developed by Dutch designer Richard Vijgen, the app was first showcased at an exhibition in Germany. It caught the attention of the attendees because of the impressive visuals of what’s really happening in the “infosphere”. It’s a paid app that’s worth three dollars but you will be able to see the hidden signals of WiFi routers, satellites, and radio towers.

Don’t think the visuals are randomly played because the app uses a “dataset that includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites”. Watch how signals look and see for yourself the beauty of the Architecture of Radio. It’s a special app that provides the naked eye a peek into the hidden spectrum of frequencies, signals, and radio waves.

  1. Since the program relies on a db of cell towers, wifi routers, satellites etc. to generate the images, how can the user be certain that the EM radiation being generated by their specific router in their home/apt are the one(s) actually being displayed?

    I can see how the program could approximate a signal set based on a phone’s location, but it doesn’t sound as if the actual signals are being “displayed.”
