Application Description

This application provides a dynamic visualization of your device's 3D orientation through an interactive 3D compass. By leveraging the power of multiple sensors and advanced sensor fusion techniques, it showcases how data from the Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and compass can be integrated to enhance your understanding of your device's position in real-time.

A key feature of this app is the introduction of two innovative virtual sensors: "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2." These sensors combine the Android Rotation Vector with a virtual Gyroscope, resulting in unprecedented stability and precision in pose estimation. This fusion enables users to experience a smoother and more accurate representation of their device's orientation.

For those interested in comparing different sensor outputs, the app offers a variety of options:

• Improved Orientation Sensor 1: A sensor fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, known for its higher accuracy but slightly less stability.
• Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Another fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, offering greater stability at the cost of some accuracy.
• Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to combine data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Calibrated Gyroscope: Provides a standalone output from the Kalman filter fusion of the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Gravity + Compass: A straightforward combination of these two sensors.
• Accelerometer + Compass: Another basic sensor pairing.
• Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: An older method using a complementary filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.

The source code for this application is openly accessible, and you can find the link in the About section of the app.
