HEBI Mobile I/O vs PhonePi Sensor Stream Pro

HEBI Robotics creates components that allow you to create custom robots quickly, and the HEBI APIs enable you to program these robots using your favorite programming language. The HEBI Mobile IO App is another component in this ecosystem; it integrates with HEBI APIs and tools to provide analog and digital inputs that can be used to control these robots. More information about HEBI robotic components can be found at http://hebi.us, and technical documentation for programming robots using these APIs is provided at http://docs.hebi.us. HEBI Mobile IO shows up as a network device that provides analog and digital "feedback" information, similar to the HEBI IO Board, as well as inertial measurements. This feedback can be accessed using the MATLAB, C, C++, and Python APIs for HEBI components, available for download at http://docs.hebi.us. You can also send commands from these APIs to alter the state and configuration of the HEBI Mobile IO app. Additionally, the camera is used in combination with Apple's ARKit technology to provide a full 6DOF pose estimate of the device as it is moved through the world. NOTE: This app is only useful in combination with HEBI APIs and tools, and does not provide utility as a standalone app.

Sensor Stream Pro allows you to convert your phone into a complete sensor hub and stream real-time sensor information (including audio and image streams, among 8+ sensors!) from your phone to the provided open source & fully customisable server over wifi/local network. The server can be modified as per your use-case. The app can be used to build IoT applications, for data science projects and for many more interesting use cases! Server link: https://github.com/priyankark/SensorStreamServer (available under MIT license) It allows you to stream real time sensor information from sensors on your phone to provided open source servers written in Python and other languages (future availability) that you can download from our Github page and run on your laptop/Raspberry PI/anywhere!! The server can be modified as per your requirement, giving you complete programmatic control over your phone's sensors. It also supports audio streaming and image streaming from your phone's camera. This opens up the possibility of building cool applications which may require a combination of some/all of these sensors! Sensors supported include Accelerometer, GPS, Gyroscope, Light Sensor, Magnetometer, Device Orientation sensor, Proximity sensor, Steps Counter and Thermometer (subject to availability on your device). It also supports streaming images from your phone camera and streaming audio.
