Magnetic Field Toolkit

Hello vle07 and thanks for reaching out,
It is absolutely possible to get the absolute device orientation. I am adding this node to the feature backlog. Much useful for VR applications.
The magnetometer readings are instantaneous from the human point of view. Very small windowed average from the hardware. Some jitter though. Nothing smoothing can’t solve. Download the demo at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.CeriseSoftware.MagneticFieldToolkit and you can see for yourself the responsivnes.
Best,
Fen

Hi Fen,
Will you still be updating this plugin to support IOS and to add the absolute device orientation node? It seems like you’re the only one who actually knows how to work with these magnetometer readings with UE4. I’m concerned that the magnetometer readings might be too noisy, which is probably why no other VR development kits use that sensor. Thanks!
