Accelerometer / gyro camera

anon_91194819 · September 8, 2011, 6:38pm

Hi Guys,

is it possible to make the camera rotate 360 around the scene based on the accelerometer? Meaning for example rotating the camera around an object based on accelerometer data and keep looking at that object? Or is that only possible with the gyro…? I ask this because the accelero is in more devices than the gyro If so, does anyone have any source code reference that I could use?

Thanks!

It’s not precise enough to work IMO, as tilting gives a very similar reading to moving. Sorry.
