phyphox

phyphox is an innovative Chrome extension that transforms your smartphone into a versatile physics lab. Developed by the RWTH Aachen University, it allows users to conduct various physics experiments utilizing the phone's built-in sensors such as accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, microphone, GPS, and more.

With a rich library of pre-defined experiments ready to play, users can quickly measure phenomena like earth's gravitational acceleration or use the phone as a sonar. It also features a web interface for remote controlling experiments from any PC on the same network without additional installations. Users can export data in multiple widely used formats like CSV and Excel for further analysis. Advanced users can create custom experiments by selecting sensor inputs, applying analysis techniques including Fourier transforms and cross-correlation, and designing intuitive interfaces via the web editor at phyphox.org. This powerful tool is perfect for educators, students, and enthusiasts to explore physics concepts interactively and conveniently.
