# Multi-Use Scientific Sensors The PocketLab Voyager and Weather Sensor Modules are Versatile By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensor-module References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/pocketlab-voyager-16-11-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/850087978/pocketlab-voyager-explore-science-in-your-world) Aiming to make scientific endeavors an easy possibility for anyone, the PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules are new devices from the technology brand that enable a bevy of different uses. Starting with the PocketLab Voyager, the sensor is designed to be easy enough for a 4th grade student to use, and will measure light, motion, magnetic field and weather using an external probe. This allows [different science experiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/science-activity-kits) to be performed, while capturing a number of different data points that would be otherwise difficult to do. The PocketLab Weather is intended to measure [light, humidity, barometric pressure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-temperature-and-humidity-monitor-3-mini), dew point and the heat index. This can also be used with a number of different experiments that take place in and outside of the classroom. The PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules are currently being funded on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oko-sensor). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Scientific Sensors:** The development of multi-use scientific sensors opens up new possibilities for data collection and experimentation. - **Easy-to-use Technology:** The PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules make scientific endeavors accessible to a broader audience, including young students and non-experts. - **Versatile Data Collection:** With the ability to measure various parameters, these sensor modules enable a range of experiments and data analysis. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education:** The PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules offer opportunities for hands-on scientific learning in classrooms at all grade levels. - **Consumer Electronics:** The development of multi-use scientific sensors opens up new markets and applications for consumer electronics companies. - **Environmental Monitoring:** The PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules can be utilized for weather tracking, environmental research, and monitoring applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Environment Monitor Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sense1.md) - [Intelligent All-in-One Weather Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-weather-station.md) - [Pro-Grade Meteorology Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barani-meteohelix-iot-pro.md) - [Versatile Smart Sensor Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensor-starter-kit.md) - [Multifunctional Smart Home Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-smart-sensor.md) - [Connected Environmental Sensor Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-meter-pro.md) - [Accurate Temperature Monitoring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-hygrometer-thermometer.md) - [Dedicated In-Home Weather Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-weather-station.md) - [Autonomous Sailing Research Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/research-vessel.md)
