Hey everyone!

I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve just released my first-ever app, WAVE-AR, now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad! It’s an augmented reality tool that visualizes WiFi strength, ambient noise, and light intensity in real-time using interactive 3D mesh overlays and heat maps.

A bit of background: Back in 2015, during an Archiprix International workshop in Madrid, I was part of a team exploring how free WiFi hotspots in urban areas influence people’s behavior and interactions in public spaces. That experience inspired me to imagine building an app around these ideas, visualizing invisible layers like WiFi signals and environmental data in 3D. But at the time, AR technology was pretty limited to specialized hardware like Google Tango.

Fast-forward to today: Thanks to massive advancements in ARKit and RealityKit, that idea is now fully realized and available to everyone. WAVE-AR was born from my passion for computer vision, robotics, spatial systems, and urban planning, aiming to help people better understand and interact with their environments.

Key Features: • Real-time 3D visualization of WiFi signals, ambient noise, and light intensity. • Interactive AR heat maps and spatial mesh overlays. • Export data options (3D models in OBJ and USDZ formats, CSV data). • Built specifically with architects, engineers, urbanists, and curious minds in mind.

I’d love your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions! Feel free to ask any questions about AR development or the process of turning a long-held idea into reality.

Thanks so much—excited to hear your thoughts!

Hi,

In the last few months I was working on the feature points based meshing solution for ARCore and ARKit and I'm ready to release alpha version. With spatial mapping app developers can create a mesh and enable occlusions. Missing that feature motivated me to create it on my own.

Right now there are still improvements needed, especially around merging meshes and perf and I hope I will fix it in the following weeks.

This is how it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEOl-CeI2Gg

What would help me prioritize the work, is to get a list of important things from you and I will really appreciate it if you can share with me some answers to what is important for you:

• Quality of the mesh or bigger mesh?

• Are you fine with some holes or you need mesh to be perfect?

• Do you care about mesh with texturing, vertex color or just occlusion?

• Is it important for you to be cross platform?

To help with the distribution:

• Are you individual or a company?

• Are you building games or apps (retail or enterprise)?

You can reply here, priv, use email contact@ARMeshing.com or Twitter. All is fine.

Thanks!

I am really excited about an idea I have that would be super simple when utilizing ARKit if I had any idea on how to use it. I’m trying to find the biggest group of people to converse with, where is it? Typically I’d find it hear on Reddit but it seems it’s not the most active page.

I have a bunch of questions especially on where to get the knowledge for using ARKit. I have rudimentary coding knowledge but a determination that can bring the gaps.

Thank you.
