A couple of possible issues come to my mind: * Did you make sure that your compass is calibrated? (figure 8 in the air with the phone several times in various directions) * Are you far enough away from computers, steel, loudspeakers, or other objects that may deflect magnetic field lines (and thus alter the compass readings)? * For a change portrait -> landscape, it would make more sense to remap x and y coordinates by 90 degrees, rather than swap x and z coordinates, like SensorManager.AXIS_Y, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_X,
If all of these don't help, it is more efficient to print out (logcat) the sensor values, and try to solve one problem at a time (like, first get the correct orientation values from the compass, and if that works, then look into your projection routine), rather than solving the whole stack of possible error sources at once. Good luck :-) Peli On Aug 20, 7:02 pm, mscwd01 <[email protected]> wrote: > I should add I am holding the phone horizontally (as you would when > taking a photo). > > As such I modify the sensor values like: > > SensorManager.getRotationMatrix(R, I, accels, mags); > SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(R,SensorManager.AXIS_X, > SensorManager.AXIS_Z, outR); > SensorManager.getOrientation(outR, values); > > I'm assuming thats the correct way to do it. > > On Aug 20, 6:00 pm, mscwd01 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The main problem is when I use the values returned by the sensor > > manager "as is" i.e. not modifying them in any way, the points are no > > where near where they should be.
