Struggling with cellular dead zones? How about inexplicably slow wifi signal in certain parts of your home? Struggle no longer — SeeSignal has arrived!
BadVR announced the first public showcase of ‘SeeSignal,’ an AR app for visualizing Wi-Fi®, cellular, and Bluetooth® signals. This new tool powers them discovery, planning, and improvement of next-generation wireless systems within homes and offices.
In the words of Suzanne Borders, CEO and Co-Founder of BadVR:
“SeeSignal an augmented reality application we built in partnership with Magic Leap. Traditionally, charts and graphs have been used to visualize and analyze data. Instead, we imagine a future in which data is worked with in immersive data environments. SeeSignal uses BadVR’s networking environment, which displays any and all information related to some network, such as a digital, or social network. With our headset you can view the digital signal data around you. This means you can see your cellular network, your WIFI network, and your Bluetooth network multidimensionally, whereas you can only currently view these data in the 2D format of heat maps. Our technology will be incredibly beneficial to telecommunications companies as they plan out their 5G network deployments.
I am very excited to announce that the SeeSignal application will be available on IOS devices in the Magic Leap World store in the beginning of July. We also anticipate releasing our full platform including all our different environments later next year. In the meanwhile, SeeSignal will give everyone a taste of what is coming.”

City officials have launched a free mobile app called Consensus. It allows them to gather input from residents on various issues, such as whether the city should invest in more bike lanes or build more affordable housing.
The city posts questions via the app, and feedback from residents is gathered and used to give City Council members a window into the community’s thinking.
“I think its real value will be some of those initial ‘yes’ and ‘no’ questions — easily answered in ten seconds and you have weighed in,” South Burlington City Council Chair Helen Riehle said. “(It) can then generate the information that is crucial to a lot of our committees and commissions.”
Consensus is also the name of the Canadian company behind the app, which uses blockchain technology to keep personal information secure. Last year, South Burlington became the first U.S. city to allow people to use blockchain technology to create and file land records and other public documents.

Last partners to have joined us in our mission to democratize AI are MetaMe and Perth IoT!
“Our mission at metaMe is to empower people to use their data to gain sovereignty, freedom and improve their lives. We approach this by developing a new class of intelligent programmable information asset, which we call a metaPod, that can be owned, shared and traded in similar ways to crypto tokens and currencies. Our view is that DLTs enable us to exchange money as easily as we do information but our goal at metaMe is to use DLTs to enable us to exchange information as securely as we do money. We believe that by providing people with a safe home for their data and a safe way with which to share it we will establish the foundations for individualized, decentralized and self-sovereign AIs to emerge at the edge dedicated to their citizen owner’s needs as opposed to the needs of authorities and companies. We believe this can usher in a new era of productivity, progress and harmony. It is evident to us that the DAIA will be an important partner to us in realizing this vision.” — Dele Atanda, Founder.
“Perth IoT host an open decentralized and free-to-use network for streaming machine data from physical devices. We have an active community of motivated volunteers who have demonstrated that building Internet of Things talent, platform capability and smart solutions starts with three things:
- Helping and sharing with each other openly to experiment, learn, demonstrate and internet of things.
- Self-organizing around positive goals for social and environmental outcomes before economic outcomes.
- Including the entire community including citizens, academia, industry and government in an open decentralized manner.” Tom Zorde, Founder.
