This application offers an immersive visualization of the device's 3D orientation through a dynamic 3D compass. By leveraging the capabilities of multiple sensors and advanced sensor fusion techniques, users can interact with the compass by simply rotating their device, providing a real-time and engaging experience.
The core innovation of this application lies in its use of virtual sensor fusion, introducing two novel sensors: "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2". These sensors combine the Android Rotation Vector with a virtual Gyroscope sensor, resulting in unprecedented stability and precision in pose estimation. This breakthrough enhances the accuracy and reliability of the 3D compass, setting a new standard in mobile sensor technology.
In addition to these innovative sensors, the application includes a variety of other sensors for users to compare and explore:
- Improved Orientation Sensor 1: This sensor fuses the Android Rotation Vector with a Calibrated Gyroscope, offering a balance that leans towards higher accuracy but with slightly less stability.
- Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Also a fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and Calibrated Gyroscope, this sensor prioritizes stability over accuracy, providing a smoother experience.
- Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to combine data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass, offering a robust baseline for orientation data.
- Calibrated Gyroscope: Represents the standalone result of a Kalman filter fusion of the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass, focusing solely on gyroscope calibration.
- Gravity + Compass: A simpler fusion that combines gravity and compass data for orientation.
- Accelerometer + Compass: Another basic fusion method that uses accelerometer and compass data.
- Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: An older method using a complementary filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
For those interested in the technical aspects, the source code of the application is publicly accessible, with the link available in the About section of the app.
