Our app, iSeismometer, to show slight motion on your iPhone / iPad was on BBC! They came to shoot a classroom at Long Island University because the app which I developed in the Earth Science classroom was used as one of the lab exercise. Our University distributed 6,000 iPads so far and it will be 10,000 by the next year. My team lead the development of the entire distribution system and the university app on it. Dr. Kennelly introduced about iSeismometer and one of lab exercise in a Earth Science classroom. My interview was not used but I'm happy that he mention about my app and me in his comments. That...

I wrote a new page to explain how iSeismoemter extract the values. This could be helpful when you look at the data and understand the difference between high-pass filter on and off. Check the article from here : Gravity and Device Orientation

Today a friend of mine discovered a book while browsing the local Barnes and Noble, which contained a review of our app iSeismometer. The book is called "Independent Guide To The iPhone 3Gs" by Nik Rawlinson Link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Independent-Guide-iPhone-3GS-Rawlinson/dp/1906372780 Here is a screenshot of the actual page from my Friend Here is the review text from what i could read from the image above: "This is a novelty app but one that also helps you learn something new. The concept is simple. You just leave tour iPhone on hard surface with the app fired...

Here is a full world representation (click for larger image) United States (click for larger image) Japan (click for larger image) Europe (click for larger image) If you notice in Europe most of the data submissions have come from Italy due to recent seismic activity. Maps were created by Dr. Patrick J. Kennelly

I noticed something interesting in our daily downloads for the past few days. Our free Application iSeismometer has been downloaded like 4000+ times a day. I thought it might be due to a blog entry posted somewhere, but when i looked at ratings on the U.S iTunes store it was still at 30th place in the Education category. Then kiichi reminded me to check the downloads per country and most of the downloads were from italy. We are #3 in the Italian app store ratings for free apps. On the other hand I feel bad for the victims of the earth quake. You can download the iSeismometer app from...

"Spectrum" is an experimental portion of this iSeismometer. Waves of earthquake can be categorized two major parts: P-wave and S-wave. P-wave shake rapidly and it goes faster. S-wave goes slower than P-wave but it's more destructive wave. I initially planned to detect P-wave of the seismic wave which arrive faster than destructive S-wave when an earthquake hit. Then I read a couple of articles and one of the way to identify the earthquake arriving time is to detect P-wave's cyclic patterns of shaking. If it's cyclic signal (like you shake your desk repeatedly at same intervals), is this something...

Start iSeismometer, leave it on your desk, then try tap somewhere. You will realize how sensitive iPhone is! This is our new project to convert iPhone to seismometer. We created for fun and educational use, such as data collecting device. Please feel free to give us suggestion and feedback (iphone@objectgraph.com). -iSeismometer stores 10 seconds of data. Visible area is last 3 seconds. This storage size will be increased in a future version. -If you suspend recording, you can drag the screen to re-track the previous data. -Submit data on the website with your location info. -You...
