One for All, the consumer brand of Universal Electronics Inc., has launched an innovative augmented reality (AR) app to help audiences simplify the placement of antennas within their homes for better broadcast connections.
Since Australia switched from analogue to digital television transmissions in 20131, audiences have experienced a more streamlined viewing experience. However, viewers may still experience interference on occasion due to geography, the station itself, or even items in and around the home.
Viewers can also experience disruption to broadcasts due to weather events such as wind, rain, and major storms.2 With the latest La Niña weather event forecast to continue until late autumn3, audiences will likely continue to experience disruption to their television connection.
Investing in an indoor television antenna can provide a useful back-up if the main outdoor television antenna is impacted by weather events or external factors, such as powerlines or streetlights. One for All has a large range of indoor antennas, boosters, and amplifiers available to help keep Australian households connected in every season.
With the launch of its complementary, AR-supported app, the One for All Assistant, users can now simplify the placement of their One for All indoor antenna to achieve the best possible connection for television broadcasts.
The new One for All Assistant is a free app designed to help viewers find the best placement indoors for their antenna to get their favourite channels and remain connected for major broadcasts as much as possible. The innovative AR app guides users through every relevant step to install their One for All indoor antenna with features including:
- smart location: lets viewers identify their location to confirm available channels and select channels most important to them
- augmented reality: used to find the best transmitter and reposition the antenna to face it.
With the One for All Assistant, all relevant channels per transmitter can be seen with just one click.
The complementary One for All Assistant app is available to download through the Apple App Store and Google Play for all eligible devices.
