This application provides a dynamic visualization of the device's 3D orientation through an interactive 3D compass. It showcases the advanced capabilities of multiple sensors and sensor-fusion techniques, merging data from the Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and Compass to generate a 3D compass that rotates in real-time as the device is moved.

The standout feature of this application is the introduction of two innovative virtual sensors: "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2." These sensors fuse the Android Rotation Vector with a virtual Gyroscope to deliver unparalleled stability and precision in pose estimation.

In addition to these novel sensors, users can compare the performance of various other sensors, including:

• Improved Orientation Sensor 1: A fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and Calibrated Gyroscope, offering less stability but higher accuracy.
• Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Another fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and Calibrated Gyroscope, providing more stability but with slightly reduced accuracy.
• Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to combine data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Calibrated Gyroscope: Represents the separate output from a Kalman filter fusion of the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Gravity + Compass: A combination of these two sensors for orientation tracking.
• Accelerometer + Compass: Another sensor pairing for orientation data.
• Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: Uses a complementary filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
