phyphox vs MYana Explorer

Did you know that you are carrying a 3D magnetometer? That you can use your phone as a pendulum to measure earth's local gravitational acceleration? That you can turn your phone into a sonar? phyphox gives you access to the sensors of your phone either directly or through ready-to-play experiments which analyze your data and let you export raw data along with the results for further analysis. You can even define your own experiments on phyphox.org and share them with colleagues, students and friends. Selected Features: • A selection of pre-defined experiments. Just press play to start. • Export your data to a range of widely used formats • Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any PC on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything on those PCs - all you need is a modern web browser. • Define your own experiments by selecting sensor inputs, defining analysis steps and creating views as an interface using our web-editor (http://phyphox.org/editor). The analysis consists of just adding two values or using advanced methods like Fourier transforms and crosscorrelation. We offer a whole toolbox of analysis functions. Sensors supported: • Accelerometer • Magnetometer • Gyroscope • Pressure • Microphone • Proximity • GPS • Camera • LiDAR/ToF *some sensors are not present on every phone. Export formats • CSV (Comma separated values) • TSV (Tab-separated values) • Excel (if you need other formats, please let us know) This app has been developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University.

The MYana Explorer guides users along a four-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, with stops that highlight volcanic outcrops and processes of Mt Yana, an ancient stratovolcano of the Cascades arc. Without MYana Explorer, most hikers would not recognize this area as an eroded volcano. The app introduces hikers to the geology of the area to discover the volcanic history that built and then eroded the volcano. Stops along the guided hike include: Views of Mt. Shasta and the Lassen Volcanic Center Volcanic debris flow outcrops Feeder dikes Lava flows The Yana Volcanic Center is located approximately 40 km (25 mi) south of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Erosion of Mt Yana over the last 3 million years formed the ridges of the Tuscan Formation in the valley in the Chico area. Plan your trip today! The best time to visit is between late June and early October when the area is free of snow. The road to the trailhead is unpaved, a high clearance vehicle is recommended. Bring plenty of water, food, sunscreen and your smartphone to use the MYana Explorer app. There are no restrooms at the trailhead.
