Smartphones today pack a ton of technology into a tiny footprint - massive processing power, high-resolution cameras, communications and networking capabilities, and an amazing array of sensors that help these devices accomplish their multitude of tasks.
Vizeey™ enables you to easily access the sensors on your smartphone and use them for exploring the world of hidden data that surrounds us. Become a scientist with a high-powered suite of sensors by combining VizeeyTM with your smartphone! Here are a few examples of what you can do!
- Play physical data games with your friends - challenge them to the Ninja Walk where you demonstrate your ability to move with zero acceleration!
- Read the force of gravity using the accelerometer on your phone
- Calculate the height of a tree or fireworks using math and a sensor-generated inclinometer
- Measure magnetic fields and conduct experiments using the built-in magnetometer
- Wirelessly connect to databot™, an extraordinary science instrument that gives you sixteen more sensor values to explore including CO2 levels, Ultraviolet light, and more!
Selected Features
- A selection of pre-defined experiments. Pick your experiment, scan the QR code, and press play to start.
- Easily export your data in a range of widely used formats by text, email, airdrop or other methods

Vizeey™ is based on Phyphox, an Open Source app developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University. Experiments created for Vizeey™ should be compatible with Phyphox, although it is possible that development versions may get out of synchronization from time to time.
