Hi,
At our office we have two samsung tablets with gyroscopes. For our AR application created in Unity we use gyro.attitude. One 1 tablet this works great, but on the other the camera is very laggy. It seems the update rate of gyro.attitude is not smooth and as fast on one tablet as on the other. However, it seems that gyro.rotationRate is smooth and fast on both tablets. Using gyro.rotationRate to influence the camera is not optimal though, because of drift.
What could cause the laggy behaviour on the Samsung tab A tablet? We use Unity 2022.3
Kind regards,
Pascal
Further testing and researching shows that the new Inputs system also has TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR and TYPE_GAME_ROTATION_VECTOR. The first one in Unity still gives problems and the second one is not yet available in Unity. Any other ideas? We are stuck and have many customers with Samsung Tab A8.
Hi Pascal,
The laggy behavior on the Samsung Tab A tablet could be due to differences in hardware performance, firmware optimization, or sensor quality between the two tablets. The Tab A might have a lower refresh rate or slower processing for the gyroscope data. Additionally, power-saving settings or background processes could affect performance. You might want to verify if both tablets have the same Unity Player settings, update their firmware, and check for any app-specific performance optimizations. Using a combination of gyro.rotationRate with periodic calibration for drift might help as a workaround.
