FizziQ Web: Experimental physics on the big screen

When teaching science in middle or high school, using smartphones in class isn't always easy. That's why we developed FizziQ Web, a browser-based version of the mobile app that adapts perfectly to computers and their horizontal screens.
A tool designed for the classroom
FizziQ Web incorporates the same philosophy as the mobile app while adapting to the realities of teaching. No need to install anything: simply open a browser and connect with the link https://fizziqweb.web.app
FizziQ Web is based on the same principle as FizziQ apps: a free, easy-to-use software that does not collect any personal data. The interface takes advantage of the width of computer screens to provide more workspace and better readability of graphs and data.
Kinematics remains at the heart of the tool
All of FizziQ's video analysis power is retained. You can upload videos in many formats or chronophotographs to analyze movements. The point-by-point tracking system automatically calculates positions, velocities, and accelerations, analyzes rotations, and even calculates kinetic and potential energies. Data can be analyzed in FizziQ Web's spreadsheet, which includes graphs and various types of interpolations, and of course exported to PDF, Excel, Python, or even images. In short, everything you need for a complete movement study.
A redesigned audio analyzer
Computers don't have all the sensors of a smartphone, but they often have good audio systems. We took the opportunity to significantly enhance FizziQ Web's audio analyzer.
You can now load MP3, WAV or other format files, but also draw from an integrated library that ranges from the 440 Hz tuning fork to instrument sounds and more complex acoustic phenomena such as the Doppler effect or the Risset bell.
The analysis includes five different modes: pure amplitude, sound level in decibels, fundamental frequency detection, instantaneous spectrum, or a new addition, the spectrogram, which gives an overall view of the evolution of the frequency spectrum over time. An interactive cursor allows you to precisely measure any point, and everything is synchronized with the audio playback.
Analysis data can be added to the experiment notebook for study and sharing.
The enriched experience notebook
FizziQ Web's digital notebook goes beyond simple note-taking. Data tables work like a real spreadsheet, allowing students to manipulate and calculate their results directly within the tool.
Text input automatically recognizes mathematical formulas and converts them to LaTeX for a professional result. No more switching between multiple tools: everything is done in the same interface, from taking measurements to writing the report.
The notebook can be easily shared between students or with the teacher in various formats. All data is compatible with Android and iOS apps, and students can also take measurements on their smartphones and share them with FizziQ Web.
All the richness of FizziQ Anthracite
This web version inherits all the improvements of the latest mobile version. A modernized interface, expanded calculation tools, and an optimized backup system are all present, all of which are simply adapted to the computer screen.
Ultimately, FizziQ Web isn't a limited version of the mobile app. Rather, it's an adaptation that takes advantage of the computer's unique features—large screen, comfortable keyboard, audio capabilities—to deliver an even richer classroom experience. From motion analysis to acoustics to scientific writing, it's got everything you need to do real experimental physics.
