You’ll learn how to capture and utilize data from 5 different sensors without the need to buy additional software or hardware.

Please Note: THIS COURSE IS VERY SIMILAR TO “Build MATLAB Projects with iOS Sensors”

Build 6 Android Sensor Projects (Source Code Included)

In this course, you will master the MATLAB® Support Package for Android Sensors by building a unique set of projects which enable you to:

  • Build Your Own 3D Compass
  • Rotate 3D Objects Using Your Android Phone
  • Detect Whether Android Devices is Facing Up or Down
  • Track Position and Speed of A Car
  • Detect Shaking
  • Count Your Steps While Walking

Don’t struggle. I’ll show you step-by-step.

Getting set up is a little tricky, but, don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it. And if you have any problems you can ask for help through the discussion forum. I’ll show an easy method to enable and acquire data from all 5 Android sensors including:

  • Acceleration Sensors - Learn how to use abrupt changes in your Android phone’s movement
  • Magnetic Field Sensors - Explore magnetic fields used by the compass and other input devices
  • Orientation Sensors - See how you can detect your Android phone’s state and control virtual items
