This application offers a dynamic visualization of the 3D orientation of your device through an interactive 3D compass. By harnessing the power of multiple sensors and sophisticated sensor-fusion techniques, it provides an immersive experience where the compass rotates in real-time as you move your device.

The core innovation of this application lies in its use of virtual sensor fusion. Specifically, "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2" integrate the Android Rotation Vector with a virtual Gyroscope sensor, resulting in unprecedented stability and precision in pose estimation. This allows for a more accurate and stable representation of your device's orientation in 3D space.

For those interested in exploring different sensor capabilities, the application also includes several other sensor options for comparison:

• Improved Orientation Sensor 1: A fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, offering less stability but higher accuracy.
• Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Another fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, prioritizing stability over accuracy.
• Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to combine data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Calibrated Gyroscope: Represents the separate output of a Kalman filter applied to the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass data.
• Gravity + Compass: Combines gravity and compass data for orientation.
• Accelerometer + Compass: Uses data from the accelerometer and compass to determine orientation.
• Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: Employs 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, with a link provided in the About section of the app.
