\chapter{Materials \& Methods}
To develop, test and benchmark MagSend the following devices and software are
needed:

A laptop, which acts as the sender. This laptop needs to be able to run a
modern web browser which supports the Web Workers API
(see \autoref{section:webworkers}). The operating system is irrelevant as
MagSend is web-based.

An Android smartphone, which acts as the receiver. This phone needs to run at
least Android version 10 to be able to run the MagSend client application.
Furthermore, it is required that the phone is equipped with a magnetometer.
Most modern smartphones should contain a hall effect sensor for that purpose
(see \autoref{section:hallEffectSensor}).

For developing, the official IDE for Android development, Android Studio
\cite{androidStudio} was used. While this is not strictly required to run
MagSend, it is the most convenient way to do so.
