AP Sensor is a mobile app developed by the Department of Applied Physics of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The project envisions mobile and easily accessible physical measurement with the use of built-in sensors in mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets. It aims to encourage students to make observations to daily environment. It also encourages teachers to co-create experiments with students.

 This project was supported by QEF (2014/0761) and the PolyU TDG 2012-15 (42B2).
