Google creates an app to do scientific experiments with mobile phones
If you have ever dreamed of being scientist or you just have questions about how things work , Google now wants to help you answer your dreams and questions. And for this, it wants you to use your own mobile And it has just launched an application focused on scientific experiments so that any user, especially the youngest, can collect data from the environment, about tests and other experiences directly on the mobile.In a simple and scientific way.
This is the application Science Journal which, as its name suggests, acts as science journal In other words, a place where accumulate all kinds of data that the mobile can collect from the environment thanks to its sensors.Issues such as light intensity thanks to the brightness sensor that is located on the front of the terminal and is usually used to block the screen when we bring the mobile closer to the ear to speak, noise or ambient sound through the microphones, and even motion through the gyroscope and the compass Issues that Google wants us to harness in pursuit of science through our experiments
The application Science Journal allows you to manage different projects Thus, the user interested in comparing the light that illuminates his room with that outside his house, can record this data through the sensor and record it of them to compare them later. All you have to do is register the project and collect the data with your mobile phone The application also allows you to take notesso that the user does not forget anything during the experiment while the data is being recorded in said journal. Whenever you want, you can compare the measured data and draw conclusions All this simply.
Be able to compare the sound power of a bark and a sneeze Know the speed or force of a fairground attraction Measuring a sway The options are only limited to the creativity of the user, but also to the possibilities of the sensors mobile, of course.At the moment this Google application offers access to the light sensor , the microphones and the motion sensorsData that can be measured and logged without problems. However, our terminal can do many other functions, something that Google is working on to make this application even more useful and complete.
Meanwhile, the search engine company also encourages users who wish to participate in other collective experiments and raise ideas through of the forums created around Science Journal Something that science fans will like, who now have a mobile laboratory tool.
In short, an application for those passionate about science who want to give their mobile phones a new use.All this in a simple way and adapted for the little ones The good thing is that Science Journal is totally available free for any terminal Android Can be downloaded through Google Play Store
