Immaterials: Light painting WiFi
- beeker 16y agoFor me its the typical university project interaction design students create. To which than the whole world (especially those working in UX/UI design) drools.
- niels_olson 16y agos/than/then/ > the whole world drools So, lots of room to explore, but can you turn a profit? Imagine doing this systematically with 3G. The wireless companies pay big money for this kind of data in GIS systems. Imagine adding "street view" to critical areas.
- sili 16y agoIs there a (harmless) chemical that reacts in some visible way to radio waves? It would be interesting to spray that in the street and see a 3d representation of all different signals in the air.
- rorrr 16y agoLight requires a lot of energy. WiFi radio waves are really not that strong. Even if there were a chemical like that, its light would be overpowered by street and window lights.
- lwhi 16y agoThis is one of those ideas that I wish I'd thought of. Simple - but conceptually brilliant. Bridging a conceptual gap between online communication and the physical world.
- snippyhollow 16y agoExactly, simple and powerful. Beautiful is the icing on the cake. It is quite some work though.
- peterpaul 16y agoThis is fantastic. It would be really cool to build swarm robots that turn measure out a area. then use some 3d projection to produce a spacial overlay, line and elevation map of all wifi
- peterpaul 16y agoI wonder if google has enough data from their street view vehicles
