I'm trying to write a game controller that works similarly to aircraft flight controls (rotate the device to move player). I'm trying to use the game orientation matrix, but after repeated Google searches, a post to Stack Overflow (at http://tinyurl.com/ocqw6br), I have yet to even find any reference material on it. Everything I find uses the magnetometer and accelerometer, which is the normal Orientation Matrix, not the game orientatin matrix, which uses the accelerometer and the gyroscope. I've tried to adapt an example for the orientation matrix, but it's still using the code for handing the magnetometer/accelerometer blend, and I'm not getting any results that make sense (just the values for yaw---which is not even consistent with the movement of the phone, pitch, and roll---both of which are consistent).
Does anyone here know if there even IS such a thing as the (documented) game orientation matrix? Given how well any docs for it seem to be so well hidden, it makes me wonder if it was documented as a good idea, but never actually implemented in reality. Related question: assuming I can't find anything else, how would I combine pitch and yaw (after compensating for their reversal when the device is rotated to landscape) to get a single vector? I keep thinking there's some insanely-simple math that I'm missing, but the chemobrain caused by my first cancer has been blocking me from seeing it for days....
