Wireless data collection/analysis for Android with 15 built-in science sensors

Wireless data collection for Android with up to 15 built-in science sensors

The GlobiLab software for Android makes K-12 science experiments mobile, convenient and immediate anytime, anywhere! GlobiLab wirelessly integrates between the award winning Labdisc data logger with 15 built-in sensors and the Android device: Allowing setup and data analysis of hands-on experiments for biology, chemistry, environmental science, math, physics and even geography. GlobiLab software for Android was specifically designed to engage students and help visualize complex science concepts by harnessing the Android built-in accelerometer sensor, data display, multimedia and multi-touch features.

GlobiLab employs colourful data displays in a variety of meter types, intuitive icons and Android multi-touch to deliver an even more immediate learning experience. For example, students can use map, zoom, pinch and pan gestures to view and analyze collected GPS experiment data displayed on a satellite map.

Additional multimedia features include advanced markers and annotation functionality, allowing text and images to be added at key points along the graph and enabling students to tell the experiment story behind their data results.
