New Google app makes you a scientist

With Science Journal Google released a new app for scientific studies on the smartphone. Android users can use the sensors of your mobile phone now to perform various measurements and this work up scientifically.
Science Journal makes the Smartphone to the notebook for scientists.

Nanu, another new Google app? Had the developer the Social app Spaces not published just last week and announced the Messenger Allo and Duo? Now is with Science Journal another application ready, but with an entirely different approach. The app is aimed namely especially to smartphone owners with a penchant for experimentation and trying things and serves as the name suggests, as a digital notebook for all amateur or perhaps even professional scientists.

The smartphone as a universal measuring device
In this case, Science Journal uses the various sensors of the smart phone, such as acceleration or light sensor or the microphone in order to perform measurements and record data. So, for example, brightness and volume can be measured at different locations or record the speeds at which the wearer moves a smartphone. The data thus measured is preparing Science Journal then optically in tables or graphics. In addition, the measurements within the app let provided with their own notes and comments. To date Science Journal is not working, unfortunately with all sensors on the smartphone together, but Google would still reloading.

App to communicate with external measurement devices
In addition, the developer wants to publish various kits with external sensors that are to work with the smartphone and the app. The sounds in general after a very good idea, because the accuracy of the internal measuring sensors of smartphones certainly likely to vary depending on the model. From the summer of the Android app will also be classified as an open source program, which other developers can develop the software according to their needs.
