QoS Compass app for iPhone and iPad

The QoS Compass App demonstrates the visual image which European Robins (and other migratory birds) may perceive.

European Robins have a compass ability that helps them navigate. We believe they have special molecules in their eyes that may allow them to actually see the effect of magnetic fields.

This App uses the camera feed and a magnetic field dependent overlay as a compass head up display, which would allow the bird to figure out its heading in flight.
