since Unity 3.4 still does not support gyroscopes on Android devices, we decided to make our solution available in the Asset Store.
With this, you can turn your Android device into an window to the world. You can try the included demo scene (a world camera pointing where your device points) here: goo.gl/oLkOQ
(simply type the URL into your mobile’s browser to download and install the .apk).
Have fun and create cool things!

i needed it and purchased it!
As an artist i use my laptop or Galaxy TAB to show models (product visualizations, packaging, architectural walk-troughs) to clients on the go.
The demo scene provided is perfect for interior visualizations… i’ve wanted this way of manipulating the scene since i saw it in NOVA for the TAB.
I would greatly appreciate if you help me with 2 more types of use for the gyro:
a way to rotate/tumble the model in the middle of the screen (without panning)
and very similar to the previous (if not almost the same) a way to rotate the camera around the floor plane… imagine that the device is on the table and you’re looking from above and you see the ground on the screen… when you tilt it slightly (say 30 degrees) the ground plane tilts to the opposite direction… this could achieve a pseudo 3D depth effect.
We are currently preparing a major upgrade to GyroDroid, including a lot more demo scenes (and of course the ones you want to do).
Also, the release will contain more sensors to use, and for devices like yours (we have a Galaxy Tab, too), which is packed with sensors, the accuracy and speed of the virtual camera will be greatly improved.
So, just wait a few days, and everything will be fine :).
Until the final release of version 2, you can try out the included demo scene here: goo.gl/oLkOQ.
