Smartphones today pack a ton of technology into a tiny footprint - massive processing power, high resolution cameras, communications and networking capabilities, and an amazing array of sensors that help these devices accomplish their multitude of tasks.
Vizeey™ enables you to easily connect to databot using Bluetooth and access 16 sensors for exploring the world of hidden data that surrounds us. Become a scientist with a high-powered suite of sensors on databot using Vizeey™ on any Android compatible device including tablets, Chromebooks, and smart phones! Here are a few examples of what you can do with databot and Vizeey!
- Play physical data games with your friends - challenge them to the Ninja - Walk where you demonstrate your ability to move with zero acceleration!
- Read the force of gravity using the databot accelerometer.
- Calculate the height of a tree or fireworks using math and a sensor generated inclinometer
- Measure magnetic fields and conduct experiments using databot's magnetometer
- Wirelessly connect to databot™, an extraordinary science instrument that gives you sixteen sensor values to explore including CO2 levels, Ultraviolet light, and more!
Selected Features

Vizeey™ is based on Phyphox, an Open Source app developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University. Experiments created for Vizeey™ should be compatible with Phyphox, although it is possible that development versions may get out of synchronization from time to time.
Why Vizeey™ Needs Specific Permissions
If you have Android 6.0 or newer, some permissions will only be asked for when needed.
- Internet: This grants Vizeey™ network access, which is required to load experiments from online resources or when using the remote access. Both are only done when requested by the user and no other data is transmitted.
-Bluetooth: Used to access external sensors such as databot™.
- Read external storage: This may be necessary when opening an experiment stored on the device.
- Record audio: Required to use the microphone in experiments.
- Location: Used for Bluetooth permissions.
- Camera: Used to scan QR codes for external experiment configurations.
