The Magic of Apple iOS Sensors1:53
Explore data collection from five iPhone or iPad sensors—acceleration, magnetic field, orientation, angular velocity, and positioning—using MATLAB to build engaging apps for IoT, gaming, health, sports, and robotics.
What You Need for This Course2:42
Three essentials for this course: MATLAB on your computer, an iPhone (or iPad/iPod touch) with iOS 7 or higher, and a Wi-Fi network connecting both devices.
Course Overview & How to Succeed4:42
Discover the course structure, set up MATLAB with the hardware support package and free iPhone app, and learn to interface iOS sensors to acquire data for sensor projects.

Install MATLAB Hardware Support Package for iOS Sensors2:24
Install the MATLAB hardware support package for iOS sensors via add-ons from the internet. Use your iPhone's built-in sensors to run multiple projects.
Install MATLAB Mobile iPhone App1:37
Install the MATLAB mobile app on your iPhone from the App Store, then open it. Use the sensors tab to access course sensors and run MATLAB programs from the app.
Wifi Network Setup3:31
MATLAB Mobile and MATLAB Connector™ are intended for use behind a firewall on a private network. If you plan to useMATLAB Mobile over the public Internet, 3G, or 4G, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Enable Sensors & Acquire Data7:47
Verify Your Setup by Connecting to your device, then enable sensors and acquire data.
Acceleration Sensor6:24
Learn how to enable and log acceleration data from the iPhone sensor, extract x, y, z acceleration in meters per second squared, and plot and analyze steps and shake events.
Magnetic Field Sensor4:31
Enable the magnetic field sensor on a mobile device, log three-axis magnetic field data, and plot time versus field values to explore compass use and sensor data in MATLAB.
Orientation Sensor4:16
Angular Velocity Sensor3:06
Enable the angular velocity sensor on the device, log and acquire data in the x, y, and z directions, and visualize how angular velocity indicates motion speed for robotic applications.
Position Sensor6:00
Enable and log data from the MATLAB position sensor on an iPhone. Load driving around data to plot latitude and longitude and explore speed, time, and other parameters.
Exercise 3-1: Using iOS Sensors14:08

Project 6-1: Which End Is Up?5:54
Master MATLAB for mobile sensors by detecting iPhone orientation and displaying up or down, using a mobile device object and the orientation sensor with a one second data loop.
Project 6-2: Virtual Reality Box6:48
Use the iPhone orientation sensors to rotate a 3D, multicolored box in Matlab, turning phone motion into real-time 3D visualization for augmented or virtual reality applications.

Requirements

Getting Started with MATLAB Programming course or familiarity with MATLAB is recommended.
To execute examples and projects in this course, you will need:
- MATLAB R2015a or later
