Description
The Kirlian Device mobile is designed to reveal WiFi fields by means of long exposure photography and aural atmospheres. Download and use it with a long-exposure photograph to perform your own WiFi Visualisations, which will allow you to monitor the field strength and footprint of your WiFi network.
The current version of the app continuously reads the WiFi manager status, looks for the Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI) of the current connection and transforms the value into the corresponding colour from a five-colour heatmap scheme. Red means stronger signal, blue means weaker. In addition, it uses the RSSI value to emit a changing frequency sine-wave tone. The app maps values between -40 and -90 dB, but it is possible to adjust this threshold by pressing the "Calibrate" button provided in the main interface.
The app was created as part of a creative exploration project called Digital Ethereal, which sets out to understand and explore the spatial qualities and design potential of wireless exchange protocols, such as WiFi.

Recent changes: As of the first release, the app will visualise field strength in WiFi networks by changing the background colour and emitting a sine-wave tone.

Here's how it does work First turn on your phone's WiFi. If your WiFi is not turned on you will only get a red screen. If you get a red screen, its OK, just go to your phone settings and turn your WiFi on then switch back to this app, it won't be red all the time, unless you are right next to your WiFi router. If you are right next to your WiFi router, just walk away from it. Your screen should now change from red to orange to yellow to green then blue, depending how far away you move away from the WiFi router source.

Learn how it works! Before you all keep leaving one star ratings please understand how this app works. This app doesn't take magic pictures of Wi-Fi, the picture shown is a long exposure photograph taken with a different camera. The colored streaks are the screen of your phone running this app as it changes colors to show current Wi-Fi strength.

I dont know what this app can do. It keeps on red screen and black screen when calibrating. I turn on the wifi already or even use another phone for tethering but nothing show up. So whats the app all about?
★★☆☆☆
Causes Crashes The app works fine for what it's made for but it crashes my phone every time i quit out of the application. It just restarts my phone. Uninstalled.
★★☆☆☆
SEPARATE CAMERA REQUIRED! The app does what it should BUT if you are expecting to instantly be able to just snap "Kirlian" photos then you will be disappointed. To clarify things you MUST HAVE A SEPARATE CAMERA that is able to take long exposure shots. Even then you need to move the device running the app around the scene you're shooting to generate the colour streaks. I'm giving it a two star rating because although it does create interesting pictures there are no easily accessible instructions and it's not really Kirlian photography.
