Aerial
Taking an innovative wireless home security technology and turning it into a powerful and accessible home security app.
Problem
The startup Aerial has developed a wireless home security technology that captures the activities and movements of an area, thanks to WiFi wave analysis. They wanted to make it accessible to anyone through a mobile application to serve ordinary individuals as well as professionals.

The complexity of the scientific data collected was a challenge. The data was too technical for the target audience and therefore did not bring real added value.
The objective for the company was therefore twofold: on the one hand to integrate the data generated in a clear and intuitive interface, and on the other hand to make the interface easily configurable according to the user profile.
Solution
We built a Home security app prototype with Aerial’s team to make sure that the solution was intuitive, easily configurable and easy to handle, all before developing the actual app.
We developed models and a prototype to confirm objectives and expectations as defined during the co-creation workshop.
The customizable interface now allows the user to configure the application based on the location they wish to monitor and connect to nearby wireless devices. The user is therefore notified in real time when an activity, for example an intrusion, is detected.
Also, thanks to the algorithms, the user can plan and schedule a calendar of events so that the system can notify them of intrusions, for example.
“We have designed an entire interface to display and set up the technology developed by Aerial. Our team was able to adapt the solution by creating a completely custom-made interface, allowing easy access and use regardless of the user.”
