[android-developers] Re: Orientation sensor: why does roll change with pitch?

The issue is that the implementation of the orientation angles in 1.0 isn't actually pitch and roll, it's pitch around the x axis and pitch around the y axis. This was deeply improved for cupcake. Yes, we've maintained compatibility with the old API too. JBQ On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 1:10 PM,

OK, thank you JBQ. I was working on a coordinate conversion as needed to make the relevant angles more intuitive to users when using my app in a see-through display orientation (similar to Wikitude), and it is good to know that things will improve with cupcake. On Jan 26, 11:12 pm, Jean-Baptiste

Yes, the see-through case is one that is hard to implement with the current APIs (because yaw/orientation is even more broken than roll), and I know the new cupcake APIs are expected to make this specific case much easier. JBQ On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 2:35 PM, blindfold seeingwithso...@gmail.com
