gyroscope

I need to have a game object point north AND I want to combine this with gyro.attitude input. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to do this in one step. That is, I couldn't make any gyro script, which I found on the net, work with the additional requirement of always pointing north. Trust me, I have tried every script I could find on the subject. I deduced that it's impossible and probably was stupid to think it could be done; at least not this way (i.e. all-in-one). I guess you could say I surmised that you can't do two things at once. Then I thought possibly I could get the same effect by

I am working on an application to draw in the air with an android phone. As my phone is moving, thanks to the acceletometer, i retrieve the acceleration on each axis ax, ay, az. What I am interested in is: x,y,z. From what I read in forums and in some tutorials, integrating the accelaration twice gives huge errors. So what is the best solution for me to get information on the deplacement of the phone? Thanks for your help. Ali Not exactly what you are looking for: Store orientation to an array - and compare Tracking orientation works well. Perhaps you can do something similar with the

I wish to calculate position of a small remote controlled car (relative to starting position). The car moves on a flat surface for example: a room floor. Now, I am using an accelerometer and a gyroscope. To be precise this board --> http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9623 As a first step I just took the accelerometer data in x and y axes (since car moves on a surface) and double integrated the data to get position. The formulae I used were: vel_new = vel_old + ( acc_old + ( (acc_new - acc_old ) / 2.0 ) ) * SAMPLING_TIME; pos_new = pos_old + ( vel_old + ( (vel_new - vel_old ) / 2.0 ) ) * SAMPLING

I want to use the Android gyroscope to perform head tracking on the standard First Person Controller of Unity3d. I created a short script that rotates both the parent node and the camera child node of the First Person Controller. The script is attached to the camera. This script works very well, it rotates the first-person view based on the movements of my mobile device. However, it only works when I hold my phone in a forward looking position when I start my app. If my phone lies flat on the table and I start my app, both the camera and gyroscope rotations are off. I would like my script to

I have raw data of Gyroscope and magnetometer. on basis of this data, i have to calculate Heading information with an accuracy of 1Deg. I would like to know, is there any algorithm which can help me to get heading info using available information with mentioned accuracy? Any article or any link also will be helpful. Thanks I am assuming you are using phone to collect gyroscope+magnetometer data. You cannot calculate Heading with Gyro+Magnetometer unless you know initial state of device. You have to try Accelerometer+Magnetometer . You can get heading values from rotation-matrix' or yaw`
