Description
The infosphere, Visualized.
Every time we use our phones, tablets or laptops we are entering an invisible world of wireless digital signals. It is a world that we cannot see but that is literally all around us.
The Architecture of Radio is a 360 degree data visualization of what this world might look like. It shows the cell towers, GPS satellites and Wi-Fi routers around you that allow us to live our digital lives.
New: support for Iphone X, XR, XS and XS Max Screens
New: Cardboard support!
Immerse yourself in the Infosphere in Virtual Reality using a cardboard or compatible headset*
*Carboard support only for iPhone. iPhone 6s or newer recommended for best performance.
Why should I use this app?
Out of curiosity! We are increasingly dependent on a global ecosystem of digital signals. We use them for so many things, yet we cannot see them. We can see the roads we use to travel, the buildings we live in, but not the infrastructure that is changing the world. How can we understand this world without understanding how it works?
The purpose of this app is to make the invisible visible so we can look at it, think about it and discuss it.
Why Should I not use this app?
This app is not a measurement tool. It’s purpose is to inspire, to see the world through a different lens. The app is based on real world data and gives you a pretty good idea of the density of digital signals around you, but it won’t tell you where to move the couch to get a better WIFI signal.
So how does it work?
The Architecture of Radio is a data visualization, based on global open datasets of cell tower, Wi-Fi and satellite locations. Based on your GPS location the app shows a 360 degree visualization of signals around you. The dataset includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites.
Is this really what radio signals look like?
We can’t see radio with our eyes. The waves that we use for our cell phones and Wi-Fi are way outside the spectrum of visible light. In order to “see” radio, it has to be interpreted or translated into an image that we can see. There are many ways to do that but it will always be an interpretation.
The Architecture of Radio is an impression of the infosphere, a way of seeing it.

An unpolished gem
Incredible. This is what this app is! I was able to observe all the networks I never knew existed around me. And I by all, I mean not just their source, but also their signals' radius and shapes. As minuses of the app, I would point: 1. You go "I've been just scammed!", when you see a 10 minute loading screen. To avoid it simply enable GPS and connect to the internet. On your phone hahaha 2. The sound generated by the app is irritating at certain points 3. The app is stressing the CPU really hard and after just a couple of minutes of usage your device will become unpleasantly hot 4. It's unclear, if what the app is displaying is a real time measure or it's just a theoretical projection, based on the type of located emitters Despite its weak points, anybody interested in radio signals and networks or simply curious about the world we live in, will find the app worth every penny and scientifically entertaining
Useless!
Save your money, the "app" will not load if there even is an app and not just a "loading" picture! I have tried rebooting, patiently allowing the app hours to load, closing all other apps and moving closer to my wi-fi source all with the same lack of results. All I get is a fancy blue screen, saying "loading" but it's all a lie, nothing is loading and I'm beginning to think this app might be nothing more than a scam?
