Starchorus turns Wi-Fi signals into a night sky
A passive Wi-Fi observatory maps nearby access points and their clients as a changing sky, with a browser demo and a collector for the WiFi Pineapple Pager.
- For
- Wi-Fi field researchers and film-production teams
- Worth noticing
- Its browser demo uses simulated data and placeholder names; the Pager collector is described as passive and GPL-licensed.
Field notes
The project describes a collector that reads what is already on the air, then renders measurements locally in a single page. Its listed views include inventory, baseline comparison, signal history, recording and replay, and a homing meter. The demonstration substitutes simulated data and placeholder names, which the page says makes it suitable for on-set playback without disclosing anyone’s real environment. The macOS version is still marked in preparation.
