Visual outputs - noitarud - 03-17-2025
The app supports audio and bluetooth outputs, can you add visual outputs on the screen too?
This would permit XML visualisations/animations - practical (trigger photodetectors) or entertaining (complement the sound). If combined with the touchscreen as a sensor (suggested elsewhere) it would make games more possible (test human reaction times).

What exactly are you thinking of? Quite a lot could be achieved by graph views. Check the forum for Xmas posts or see https://phyphox.org/xmas/, for instance.

not graphs, basically make shapes appear/colour to attract attention or indicate sth. the gaming designers could ask for sprites
RE: Visual outputs - Jens Noriʇzsɔɥ - 03-18-2025
Those in my first post are shapes including colour, aren't they?
In general, graphics/images are not that easy in phyphox: they take lots of space as iOS does not really support .svg

In your first post you have an xmas link which has a youtube link to a garble sound.
[apologies, it really sounds like my anger is rising in the next paragraph]
I am implying it could draw objects overlaying the interface (or dedicated viewing area) as an output and able to move according to stimulus, such as a ball (circle. One site says you use the drawCircle() command, seems not hard) bouncing against the screen edge as user shakes the phone around.
As for images graphics complaint, Minecraft appears to be enjoying success with 8×8 pixels on the character's faces - if a phone cannot handle several sets of 64 pixels I'd want a refund. An application for the ball-shake idea is to use for a kinetic template (maze) or guide or for qualification of some kind, and the background can be set to indicate criteria getting fulfilled.
If it's a "no" just say it, else tell me the game stuff or even all kinds of overlays (screen flashing red and white as a warning output) are low priority and won't be soon.

There is a phyphox experiment on the xmas page that I have been referring to. Alternatively, see https://phyphox.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=1238
So, coloured areas, even moving, should already work. Sprites or transformable shapes are on our todo, however, there are implementation issues that make such things more difficult than they should be…
