At first, I didn’t have a clear idea of how to represent the data using RGB lights, so I started with the physical design. I used side-emitting light guides to create an arched structure, which ended up looking pretty sleek.
I built three display modes:
- Wi-Fi Channel Scan Mode – It cycles through all 13 Wi-Fi channels. Channels with heavier traffic and stronger signals appear brighter and redder; quieter channels show up as dimmer and more blue.
- Local Network Traffic Visualization – Each side of a light segment represents the upload and download traffic of a single device. I also asked AI for fun feature ideas, and it suggested an "Intruder Alert Mode"—so I added that: whenever a new device joins the Wi-Fi network, the lights flash red as a warning.
- Wi-Fi Signal Strength Display (RSSI Mode) – This mode visualizes signal coverage in different areas, helping you identify Wi-Fi dead zones.
So here is the video (English Subtitle available):
