GyrOSC2.6 - App Store

GyrOSC is a lightweight utility that sends your device's motion sensors to any OSC (Open Sound Control) capable application over Wi-Fi. Wirelessly control your OSC capable audio or video app by moving and tilting your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.

Wirelessly send:

. Gyroscope {pitch, roll, yaw}
. Accelerometer {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis}
. Compass {magnetic heading}
. GPS {latitude, longitude, altitude, course, speed, time}
. Quaternion {w, x, y, z}
. Rotation matrix {m1 ... m16}
. Rotation rate {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis}
. Gravity {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis}
. Magnetic field {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis}
. Altitude {m, kPa}
Control any live audio or video application that supports OSC messaging. Some examples include Max/MSP, Pure Data, Processing, Plogue Bidule, Isadora, and more.

Features:

- Customize message tags
- Save and load addresses for quick setup
- Screen lock for performance
- Gyroscope orientation reset button
- Control buttons to send OSC messages

GyrOSC will automatically detect the available sensors in your device.
