Getting Started with IngenioLens

Welcome to IngenioLens! This guide will help you get up and running with our AI-powered physics laboratory.

Installation

  • Download IngenioLens from the App Store
  • Launch the app on your iOS device
  • Complete the initial setup wizard
  • System Requirements

  • iOS 26.0 or later
  • iPhone 12 or newer (for optimal 3D performance)
  • Apple Vision Pro support available
  • First Steps

    1. Choose Your AI Provider

    Navigate to Settings → AI Provider to select your preferred backend:

  • DeepSeek V4 (Recommended): Best accuracy for complex physics queries
  • Apple Intelligence: On-device processing for privacy
  • Ollama: Fully offline, for local development
  • 2. Explore the Labs

    Visit each of our three interactive laboratories:

  • Spring Oscillator Lab — Simple harmonic motion, damping, period and frequency
  • Structural Analysis Lab — Stress, strain, and axial deformation
  • Taylor Series Lab — Polynomial approximation and convergence
  • 3. Try AI Search

    Use the search bar to describe physics concepts in natural language. For example:

    > "Show me how the period changes when I increase the mass"

    IngenioLens maps your query to the right lab and parameter set automatically.

    Tips for Success

  • Start with simple queries and gradually increase complexity
  • Use the labs to build intuition before diving into equations
  • Take advantage of the real-time formula updates as you drag sliders
  • Tap any formula to see a full derivation panel
