To use the Sky WiFi guy, check your WiFi signal strength and test your internet speed in different rooms you only need a smartphone. Another advantage of App Clips over usual apps is that they will not get access to any sensitive data located on your iPhone. Secondly, you don’t have to download a whole app to use it for a task that might take less than a minute. Firstly, you don’t need to spend time browsing App Stores to find the correct function you need. Therefore, using App clips makes AR experiences user friendly in two ways. With this, you can interact with certain app functions much faster than before. Providing the full feature set of augmented reality without an app installation is definitely a game changer for the whole industry. This will avoid the hassle of installing a native app. It is designed to appear as soon as you need it, small in size and can be started within seconds on your Phone. This enables you to handle certain tasks more quickly and easier.

An App Clip (or Instant App on Android) is a mini version of an app and focuses on the part of the app you currently need. The Sky WiFi Guy is the first augmented reality App developed as an App Clip. Together with the data-processing agency MyWave.ai, Sky New Zealand implemented a chatbot for customers that can directly be accessed through the WiFi Guy and help improve internet services. You can interact with him and for example find out if you need a WiFi booster to enhance your connection.

So, what if my WiFi in a specific room is weak? The WiFi guy not only measures signal strength in your house. How can I improve my WiFi signal quality? When you walk around the location, WiFi guy will instantly show you where the connection is good and where it’s poor. Depending on the result, the animated 3D avatar will visualize the quality of WiFi signal on this specific location. Consequently, this result will be shown as the wifi quality/speed and estimated as poor or good. To check your WiFi signal strength, the tool measures the maximum download speed close to the router and the speed in the rooms providing a comparable speed result. We created a solution to measure and visualize a WiFI signal in rooms using augmented reality (AR). But paradise is where your WiFI signal is actually strong! Together with MyWave.ai, ViewAR built a measurement tool to find out exactly where that is. They say home is where your WiFi connects automatically.
