SoniControl detection dialog prototype
SoniControl - Integrating the diagnostics module
Visualization and sonification in one dialog (24.07.2019)
Förderjahr 2018 / Project Call #13 / ProjektID: 3480 / Projekt: SoniControl 2.0

Here is a first prototype of our new detection dialog. It now integrates the visualization of ultrasonic messages and will offer the possibility to replay messages at audible frequencies to get a better grasp of what was detected. These diagnostics features should help users to distinguish potentially unwanted signals from false detection (e.g. triggered by some "noise"). A sharing functionality will also make it possible to leverage the power of the community to establish a map of places using ultrasounds. This can then be used to protect your privacy by preemptively blocking signals in these areas.
