Barometer

One of the novelties of the latest flagship of Apple, the iPhone 6 , is your barometer sensor. A tool that helps the terminal to establish with higher precision data such as the location, theheight or the pressure Really important and useful details in applications sports, transportation such as GPS or leisure to have all the data. However, much simpler and more direct tools have also emerged that seek to show the user all the data directly collected by this sensor.

This is the case of the application Barometer A very simple tool that barely has a graphical interface to display two of the data collected by this new sensor in models iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thus, it is enough to start it to see on a blank screen the current value of the pressure that the user zone is receiving in hPa (hectopascals are equivalent to millibars), in addition to the data of the relative height Questions with which to check the current situation, but also allow the most curious users to experiment.

Thus, those who own an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plusyou can play with this application to check how the barometric sensor of your terminal works.An example proposed by the developer of the tool is to measure the height of the building in which you live by taking measurements thank you to the elevator and this application. In this way, you only have to start the application on the floor you want take as reference Once the measurement has started, it is possible to see on the screen how the iPhone sensor picks up the height the lift is being raised to.

In the same way, this tool can be useful for those users who want to know the height they have climbed, as well as calculate the slope , when doing trekking or climbing a mountain or slope. Just launch the app on the benchmark and keep it in the background to check it at any other time. Thanks to the sensor and the M8 processor that manages the information in the latest edition of the iPhone , it is possible to know the maximum height to which one has climbed or descended.All this in a simple way, through a single screen with the data of the pressure and the height.

There is a third option on the screen. A button that allows you to reset the altitude to zero at any time by simply clicking on Reset Altimeter. With this the user can start a new height measurement with respect to any point.

In short, a simple application created, above all, to show the possibilities of including a barometer in the mobile terminal. And it is most likely that other sports, weather or more complex applications are used to take advantage of this data, but it never hurts to be able to experiment with them directly and easily. The Barometer app is completely free It is available through App Store exclusively for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices
