The Sensors Alive app is part of the Sensors Alive experimental kit. It is only in combination with the Sensor Pods and the Base Station from the experimental kit that all app functions can be used. Bring Physics to Life! Demystify abstract physics phenomena like light, sound, and heat as never before — with this highly innovative, gamified sensor physics lab. The core of this science kit is an app-based video game in which you use real-world sensor data that you collect from your environment to generate a diverse array of creatures. Create, collect, play with, and take care of your creatures in the app. In a pretend bioengineering lab inside the game, you play the role of a scientist who uses readings taken from three physical sensor pods outside the game. The readings are then transferred into the game via the base station. The sensor data dictates the different attributes your bioengineered creatures will have. For example, if you take a low temperature measurement, the creature generated will have long hair to keep warm. If the temperature is high, perhaps it will have scaly skin like a lizard. Or, a low light level captured by the light sensor might yield a creature with huge eyes to see better in the dark, while a high sound level reading might result in a creature with tiny ears. Additional attributes are controlled directly by settings in the app. Combined together, all of these variables lead to a seemingly infinite number of creatures you could create. Continue to use the sensors to capture data that lets you care for your creatures, feed them, play with them, create habitats for them, and generate more creatures — all the while developing an intuitive sense of the different measurements you are taking with the sensors. You will gain experience in measuring light levels, volumes, and temperatures with the three sensor pods, and learn about the physics behind light, sound, and heat. Learning physics comes alive as you see the tangible results of your sensor experiments. **** Questions, suggestions and feature requests? We look forward to your suggestions!

Good-ish
Fun! But 150 Fahrenheit? That is just crazy.
So much fun-
I got this for Christmas, and just got everything set up a bit ago. I've been playing for about 10 minutes. Very fun! Animals are adorable.
Amazing game but needs more pods
This is a great game, I recommend it for people reading this. There are a few things could be improved. For example, the pods. I think there should be more pods. Like gravity, speed, mass, wind, or mist. It gets a little boring after a while when you keep using the same three pods. One other thing is sometimes there is measures that are impossible to do. Either very hot or very cold, it also sometimes messes up the temperature. We will do it very hot, and come out as freezing cold. Please fix this. Overall, this is a great game.🙃😐
Fun...Ish?
It is fun but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get fruit. They want seem to want me to audition for a Broadway musical in the spot light and roast my scensors over an open fire. It is CRAZY. But the animals are cute.
Horrible sensors
These sensors simply don’t work. Quiet rooms are 80db, refrigerators are 72 degrees ... you get the idea. I work with sensors for a living but I’m regretting making this purchase for my kids. Very poor purchase.
Horrible
Base station shut off when ever I put pod in. The pods never stopped blinking green.
Just no
App crashes whenever I open it
- Many bugfixes - Upgrade to new version of Unity - User Interface changes
