Collecting data from GPS and gyroscope on mobile phone

Hi,

I just tried the option to connect smartphone and collect accelerometer data. It’s so quick and easy, fantastic!
Will you add option to collect data from GPS and gyroscope on smartphone?

Thanks,
Dominik

Hi @Dominik, gyro is a good idea indeed - will add a tracking bug. What would you be doing with GPS here? It’s hard to do anything ML related on it.

Hi @janjongboom,
Thanks for taking this into consideration.

I would like to collect gyro, accelerometer and GPS data for training only. Actually I would process GPS data to get route (distance and shape without location). For inference I wouldn’t use GPS. I would like to try create a model which based on gyro and accel data would produce route.

I think it would make sense to have option for collecting any kind of data from smartphone (gyro, GPS, magnetometer). I don’t think that you and me can predict all ideas other people will have :slight_smile:

Hi @janjongboom. Will it be possible to combine inputs from both acc and gyro at data collection time? Edge Impulse is awesome! :slight_smile:

Yes definitely, check out Jan’s answers for audio + motion sensor fusion here: How to recogonize voice and motion in the same time?

@sergi is currently working on adding gyro support to the mobile client as well.

Hmm, this link leads only to an empty page, at least for me.


Hi @noone,

I am not able to replicate the issue with the blank page you are seeing. Can you try opening the link in an incognito browser?

I’m seeing this too on Safari, have pinged the website team.

edit: Hmm, now it loads for me…

edit2: Ah it was fixed already!

It works now for me as well, thx for fixing it :+1:
