WaveVision (Visualizing Invisible Wi-Fi Fields in 2.5ghz Range)
WaveVision
See the Wi-Fi. Feel the Invisible.
Wi-Fi is everywhere. You just can’t see it. Until now.
soo welcome guys
WaveVision is an interactive project that turns invisible Wi-Fi signals into live visuals using real data, motion, and your smartphone. No screens. No LEDs. No internet. Just raw electromagnetic reality.
What is WaveVision?
WaveVision is a Wi-Fi field visualizer built with an ESP32. It scans the air around you, rotates in space, and sends live signal data to your phone — where invisible radio waves become graphs, radar sweeps, colors, and patterns.
This is not a simulation. This is real Wi-Fi energy being mapped in real time.
Features
Live Wi-Fi scanning (real RSSI data) Radar-style directional visualization Angle vs signal-strength graphs Color-coded Wi-Fi channels Security-type classification (Open / WPA / WPA2 / WPA3) Live network table (SSID, RSSI, Channel, MAC) Export data as CSV and JSON Smartphone-based dashboard (no app install) No LEDs. No external display. No internet needed
Why This Is Cool
You’re seeing electromagnetic waves
You’re interacting with something normally invisible
Your phone becomes a scientific instrument
It mixes art, physics, and tech
It makes Wi-Fi feel physical
Judges don’t just watch it. Hey experience it!!!!!!!
Tech Stack
ESP32 – Wi-Fi scanning + web server
HTML / CSS / JavaScript – live visualization
Canvas API – radar & graphs
Smartphone Browser – display & interaction
How It Works
ESP32 creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot
Wi-Fi networks are scanned
Signal strength, channel & security are recorded
Data is sent live to a web dashboard
Your phone visualizes the invisible
Simple. Clean. Powerful.
How to Use
Power the ESP32
Connect your phone to the ESP32 Wi-Fi
Open 192.168.4.1
Watch the invisible come alive
No downloads. No setup pain.
What You Can Explore
Where Wi-Fi signals are strongest
How walls affect signal direction
Channel congestion
Network overlap
Wi-Fi isn’t magic. It’s physics — happening all around us.
WaveVision lets you see it, understand it, and feel it.
Hidden patterns in everyday spaces
Your room becomes a data landscape.
| Built to explore the unseen. | Designed to make waves visible.|
ANDD YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE DATA ON THE SPOT
Supplies
Supplies
- Hardware
- ESP32 Dev Module
- B-Type Data Cable
- A Smartphone with WiFi Connection
- Software
- Arduino IDE
Making the Base
We start the making by making a high point for our ESP-32 to do so i have used a fiber rectangular piece to stick the ESP-32 on it and attach my USB cable with the ESP-32 and covering the outer cable with sticks to give the flexible cable some strength to hold the antenna high above as shone in image i have placed the cable on a cubic base to give it support from ground
Arranging the Hardware
After fixing the ESP-32 on that spot shown in figure connect to USB cable and provide the power to ESP-32 by 5v Dc from any Smartphone adapter and make sure the light on ESP-32 glows red and blink for blue as soon as you make the connection right your led glows as shown in image
Getting Into Software
By opening our Arduino IDE software we add our code in it and Compile the code by clicking on the top left side corner with a Tick button after compiling the code we flash it into our ESP-32 module to do that make sure you have selected the correct board look in top menu TOOLS there you select the board type and after selection of correct board you need to connect to correct COM port and you are done now come back on top left corner and click on arrow button to flash the code into module and you are all done !!!!!!
Getting Into Real Fun on Webpage
Now open your Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone and connect to the Network (WaveVision)there is no password after the successful connection open your Internet browser and type (192.168.4.1) and wait for it to load as soon as it loads you find a familiar interface as shown in the image above there are specific control buttons to get every type of info you need you can also download them you get three different file types to download live data from thin air
All Ready 😎
You successfully scan the networks and your data is shown in a way from high (RED) to low (Blue) the signals vary
APPRICIATE YA For getting down here ;)
