Motion sensor fusion

By SteveRogers on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:08
Hi, this is probably highly non-trivial to implement but there is some work going on for improving target tracking by taking device motion sensors into account. See example videos at [url]http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~myung/IMU_KLT[/url] and [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=afA3dQNEa68[/url] (they aren't doing AR just feature tracking supported with IMU). Since the iPhone has these... any thoughts? Thanks for the good work and helpful support

Yes!! This would be a huge enhancement to the overall stability, by a great deal. Just need to be sure the developer is in charge of supplying gyroscopic and accelerometer data directly.
