phyphox

Did you know that you are carrying a 3D magnetometer? That you can use your phone as a pendulum to measure earth's local gravitational acceleration? That you can turn your phone into a sonar?

phyphox gives you access to the sensors of your phone either directly or through ready-to-play experiments including data analysis and data export for further analysis. You can even define your own experiments on phyphox.org and share them with colleagues, students and friends.

Selected Features:
– A selection of pre-defined experiments. Just press play to start.
– Define your own experiments by selecting sensor inputs, defining analysis steps and creating views as an interface
– Export your data to a range of widely used formats
– Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any PC on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything on those PCs – all you need is a modern web browser.
– Set up your own complex data analysis, whether it is just adding two values or using advanced methods like Fourier transforms and crosscorrelation.

Sensors supported:
– Accelerometer
– Magnetometer
– Gyroscope
– Light intensity
– Pressure
– Microphone
*some sensors are not present on every phone.

Export formats
– CSV (Comma separated values)
– CSV (Tab-separated values)
– Excel
