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 wizardSystem Requirements
iOS 26.0 or later
iPhone 12 or newer (for optimal 3D performance)
Apple Vision Pro support availableFirst 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 development2. 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 convergence3. 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
