I saw a smartphone with an application
to measure levels.
There should be a smartphone model with
a laser meter for short distances, very useful
in engineering.

Re: Participate in Citizen Science or Smartphone Science

I bothers me a lot when my Smartphone runs out

But are used in serie, one after the other.
It is like having a gas reserve tank in a car.
