Software That Lets You Hear Wi-Fi Signal

With the increasing use of smartphones, our dependability on wi-fi is also increasing. We use internet for every small purpose right from finding our way in the new city to saying hi to the friend to banking. The availability of wi-fi is must. But how do we realize that the wi-fi signal is available by looking at the phone?

A London-based scientist, Frank Swain has an answer to this question. He has developed software named Phantom Terrains that will help us identify the presence of any wi-fi signal through sound. Right now, this software works with the iPhone and a specially created hearing aid.

The system uses iPhone’s wi-fi sensor to receive the data. The newly developed software decodes the data and transmits it through the customized hearing aid.
