Welcome to this week’s campaign update! In this one, we share some insights into the user interface of the Air Lab. Let’s dive in!

Robin’s Lab

The home screen of the Air Lab is Professor Robin’s Lab and his air quality measuring machine. From this screen, all features of the Air Lab are accessible.

• Next to seeing the current time and battery status, you can cycle through the most recent sensor values in the top right corner using the up/down keys.
• The device menu is accessible from the computer in the middle of the screen. Choose an option with the left/right keys.
• When idling for some time, Professor Robin will share some insight depending on the current air quality conditions or recent actions.

Live View

The live view displays the recently measured samples from memory. It is very powerful and allows you to quickly understand how the air quality around you has changed in the past hours.

• As on the home screen, you can use the up/down arrow keys to cycle through the sensor values.
• To move the cursor, press or hold the left/right arrow keys.
• The screen always shows the time and value at the position of the cursor in the timeline.

Measurements

The Air Lab allows you to take multi-day measurements that store all measured samples on-device. This is great to precisely measure changes to air quality at home, in the office, or on the go. Later, you can analyze the data on-device or export it to a CSV file.

• In the list view, you’ll find all your past measurements, which you can open at any time. Or, you can select “Create Measurement” to start a new one.
• When creating a new measurement, you can choose to import the samples from memory or start fresh.
• In this case, we started fresh and can now see how samples are added to the measurement.

Precisions Mode

The coolest feature of Air Lab is the precision mode. It can be accessed from the live view or from a stored measurement by pressing the "A" key. This mode allows you to explore data in depth by scrolling through all available samples.

• As in the live view, the time and sensor value are displayed from the cursor position.
• Use the touch bar by swiping slow or fast in the direction you want to scroll.
• The dots below the bars are marks that have been added while recording. They can be used to correlate an external event with the measurement.

Settings

Of course, no device is complete without a settings screen. In ours, you can change the date and time, the language, power off the device, as well as completely reset the device if needed. We’ll certainly add more features in the future.

That’s it!

We hope you gained some insight into the user interface of the Air Lab. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. If you have not yet backed the project, we would very much welcome your support!
