Sensors and potential use case


As part of this project we would really like to include some of the iOS sensors into our app. We've derived a list of all the sensors we could think of and then narrowed it down to some potential use cases for our app.


iPhone sensors:

  • conductive technology
  • GPS
  • wifi (internet connection)
  • 3G
  • NFC
  • fingerprint sensor
  • gyroscope
  • voice recognition
  • bluetooth
  • camera
  • speaker
  • torch (visual aid)
  • accelerometer
  • light sensor
  • communication device
  • time
  • compass

Potential use cases:

  • tilt for compass
  • torch
  • step counter to estimate how far you've travelled
  • camera to capture hazards and take photos for the community gallery
  • GPS for location
  • time - sunset and sunrise warnings
  • accelerometer could measure time it takes to complete the walk and provides average walking time
