TIDIVIEWS
Turn your phone into a wave sensor
TIDIVIEWS mobile is a smartphone-based coastal wave monitoring platform designed to make wave data accessible anywhere in the world.
Join the beta waitlist to get early access and help build a global hydrodynamic database powered by citizen science.
PROBLEM
Wave data is difficult and expensive to obtain.
Traditional instruments are costly, require maintenance, and provide limited spatial coverage. Many coastlines around the world remain unmonitored, making it harder to support research, coastal management, and operational decision-making.
There is a need for a scalable, low-cost solution that can expand wave observations globally.
SOLUTION
TIDIVIEWS transforms smartphones into coastal wave monitoring tools.
By using video captured from mobile devices, the platform enables users to contribute wave observations from any nearshore zone. This approach allows scalable data collection and supports the creation of a global coastal wave database.
No dedicated hardware. No complex deployments. Just a phone.
Join the WaitlistCREDIBILITY
TIDIVIEWS is based on doctoral research at the University of Aveiro in coastal video monitoring and has been validated in real coastal environments using consumer-grade cameras (UAVs and fixed IP cameras).
The project has been selected as one of 10 teams for the Hub Azul Portugal Venture Building Program, a national initiative supporting the commercialization of Blue Tech innovation in Portugal.
The app is currently under development, with early validation showing encouraging results.
