This application provides an immersive experience by visualizing the 3D orientation of your device as a dynamic 3D compass. It showcases the advanced capabilities of multiple sensors and sensor-fusion technologies, allowing users to see real-time data from the Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and compass combined in various configurations. By simply rotating your device, you can interact with the 3D compass and observe how different sensor data influences its movement.
A standout feature of this app is the innovative fusion of virtual sensors, specifically "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2." These sensors integrate the Android Rotation Vector with the virtual Gyroscope sensor, resulting in a pose estimation that offers unprecedented stability and precision. This fusion technology sets a new standard for accuracy in mobile device orientation tracking.
In addition to these advanced sensors, the application includes a range of other sensors for users to compare and explore:
- Improved Orientation Sensor 1: A sensor fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and Calibrated Gyroscope, offering less stability but higher accuracy.
- Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Another sensor fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and Calibrated Gyroscope, providing more stability but slightly less accuracy.
- Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to combine data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
- Calibrated Gyroscope: Represents the separate result of the Kalman filter fusion from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
- Gravity + Compass: A straightforward combination of gravity and compass data.
- Accelerometer + Compass: Merges data from the accelerometer and compass for orientation tracking.
- Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: Uses a complementary filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
For those interested in the technical aspects, the source code is openly accessible. You can find the link in the About-section of the app.
