Abstract

The present inventions generally relate to methods and dedicated apparatuses outputting a variable mapped on a device orientation in a non-inertial reference system, with the device orientation being estimated using measurements of motion sensors (such as 3D accelerometers and gyroscopes) and a magnetometer or other similar sensors including cameras. A variable mapped on an orientation of a device is smoothed to have a gradual evolution by adjusting the estimated orientation of the device obtained via sensor fusion or other sensor processing to take into consideration a current measured angular velocity.
