WiFi AR is an innovative application that revolutionizes the way users interact with their WiFi and cellular networks by leveraging augmented reality. This app not only visualizes your existing networks but also aids in identifying the optimal locations for access points by displaying critical metrics such as signal levels, connection speeds, and ping values. Moreover, it detects neighboring networks that could potentially interfere with your connection, thus helping you maintain peak performance across multiple routers.
Features of WiFi AR:
Speed Value: Quickly assess the current connection speed, ensuring you're always getting the best performance from your network.
Ping Value: Identify areas with the lowest latency, perfect for enhancing your online gaming experience on both WiFi and 5G/LTE networks.
Interference Networks: Pinpoint neighboring networks that might affect your connection quality, allowing you to switch to a less congested channel on your router settings for a smoother experience.
Best WiFi AP Detection: Optimize your network by ensuring your device efficiently switches between multiple routers, if you have several set up in your home.
Interface of WiFi AR:
Camera View: The primary screen features a live feed from your device's rear camera, presenting your surroundings in real-time.
Augmented Data Overlay: Superimposed on the camera view, this layer delivers vital WiFi network information, including signal strength bars, network names (SSID), security icons, and directional indicators towards nearby access points.
Network List: A comprehensive list or grid view showcases available WiFi networks, detailing their names, signal strength, and encryption status. Users can select a network for more information or to establish a connection.
Navigation Controls: Interact with AR elements through on-screen buttons or gestures, enabling actions like zooming, rotating the AR display, or accessing additional features.
Settings and Options: Customize the app's functionality, adjust AR display settings, or utilize advanced features like network diagnostics and signal optimization.
Help and Support: Access informational resources, such as pop-ups, tooltips, or a dedicated help section, to maximize your use of the app.
Signal Visualization: Beyond signal strength bars, the app employs color-coding and graphical representations to visually depict the quality and strength of WiFi signals in your vicinity.
Alerts and Notifications: Stay informed with real-time alerts and notifications when WiFi issues like weak signals or network congestion are detected.
3D Objects: Some versions of WiFi AR may include 3D models of routers or access points within the AR overlay, aiding in the visual identification of network hardware.
Connectivity Status: A clear indicator displays whether your device is connected to a WiFi network, alongside the current connection status (e.g., connected, disconnected, obtaining IP address).
