Description
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 Vizeey™ 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 method
- Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any browser on any device on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything - all you need is a modern web browser.

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.
Why Vizeey™ Needs Specific Permissions
If you have Android 6.0 or newer, some permissions will only be asked for when needed.
- Internet: This grants Vizeey™ network access, which is required to load experiments from online resources or when using the remote access. Both are only done when requested by the user and no other data is transmitted.
-Bluetooth: Used to access external sensors such as databot™.
- Read external storage: This may be necessary when opening an experiment stored on the device.
- Record audio: Required to use the microphone in experiments.
- Location: Used to access GPS for location-based experiments.
- Camera: Used to scan QR codes for external experiment configurations.
