Apple iOS Sensors Data Acquisition

Acquire data from Apple iOS sensors

Acquiring sensor data streaming involves creating a mobiledev object, turning on the sensors, and logging data to MATLAB®. You can then process the logged data, including creating plots.

You can also acquire sensor data locally on the Apple iOS device, with or without a network connection. This is an alternative method of collecting the sensor data instead of streaming it from the device to your computer running MATLAB. This is especially useful if you want to collect sensor data while your device does not have a network connection.

Note

For a complete up-to-date list of available functions for mobile device sensors, see MATLAB Mobile Functions.
