Pocket Optics
Features:
1. Fully interactive touch interface (stylus or compatible mouse is recommended for precision).2. Supports various screen resolutions
- from small phones to large tablets and Android TVs.3. Point light sources with variable opening angles and optical beams with variable width. The ray density can be adjusted for each source.4. Adjustable focal lengths for Lenses and Mirrors.5. Apertures with adjustable openings.6. Traces images of an Object throughout the optical system.7. Scrollable screen.8. Bench configurations can be saved on device for future use.9. Coordinate grid (can be turned off in Settings).10. Optic components can be snapped to a smaller grid.11. Visual Help illustrates all interactive features.

Nicely done. I'd pay real money for a third dimension. The ability to visualize non-uniform lenses would be nice. Wavelength dependent refraction and a prism object couldn't hurt. It's a good start, both for the developer and whoever has the nerdacity to engage this offering.
Perfect, although i prefer having an option to choose values by entering numbers instead of pixel perfect dragging. Along with some other information as text, as a mode that you activate in the settings
love this little thought lab, helps clarify ideas. minor issues with gui on handling colimated light sources, it enters in resize mode, but it doesn't seem to respond to resize. all one can do is hit the X to exit that mode. thank you!
I just used this because I wanted to double check if i could increase the range of my infrared sensor using lenses. So yeah. It was an okay experience. Not mind blowing but it did its job.
Amazing app ,can guys add an option to change the size of the lenses and mirrors also add an option to change the angle of it .
Great learning app ☘️🍀 a more specific app that you can apply mathematical directions that bounce of the mirrors🌍🛸space navigation and laser security systems ⚓
Thanx a lot sir, for such an innovative app.User friendly GUI , simple & innovative. Million worth downloading for all physics learners It vlb very useful for students . Once again ,whole hearted thanx ,thsn
Interesting little application, the interface is a little wonky but other than that it's good.
Very good app. simple. Visual. Intuitive. Complete FREE
Only a convex lens and a concave mirror. Not useful for me.
Great for telescope building and lazer arrangements
Cute little app that stays within its means and doesn't bother you about money.
Good try but more features are needed
Very nice just I can't rotate and move the mirors
great. helpful for teaching
I don't know anything about the Application, I have not used the Application. I accidentally installed it.
This is the best app I have found for ray optics simulations.
This Is One Groovy App Alright.! Thanks Dev's . . .
Amazing .. thank you
It does what it does.
very limited
Constantly crashes. Does'nt give you time to do anything cool
I lobe this app
It's a great app but it doesn't have any vertical scroller or any information about distance between arrow and mirror or between arrow and it's picture. Please solve these problems.
Great app for demonstrating the principles behind how lenses work. Surprisingly, there's only one other app on the Play Store that does this, and it's not free like this one. This app should be more well-known than it is.
എറ്റവും നല്ലതു.no1 -all other are waste..i tried raytrace.. qoptics..etc.. but this provide all with free cost..real simulation...thanks man..i trying to buy 300mm lens to fit in mobile.its helped me to learn..optics
it is one extremely powerful and useful tool; however, it's a bit difficult to employ, giving the impression the developer created it for personal use, only sharing it out of convenience (and i thank you for it). overall, its capability far, far outweighs any minor shortcomings
