Mapping the RGB colour space to the electromagnetic field of three mesh network routers

"Green" router

"Blue" router

"Red" router

Show the local colour by painting and hanging a paper!

Yellow colour shows that the "green" and the "red" routers have good connection in the middle of the Western wall, but the "blue" not.

Grey colour: every router has the same signal strength in the middle of the building.

Walking around with the laptop you can see on the screen the **colour of electromagnetic space**!

Nota bene: this is the ideal situation. The walls in the exhibition space distort the colour field in unpredictable ways!
