Neat little coding experiment to try to achieve a 3D effect on Android using the orientation sensor. You can see a YouTube video of this code in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjOKb7atT0g There's also a follow up where a whole scene rotates here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtWiTIJFkrw It was inspired by this head tracking video: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/11/ipad-2-gets-glasses-free-3d-display-using-front-facing-camera-fo/ Not all Android devices have front facing cameras, so I was wondering how well using the orientation sensor for this felt. You can't track the user's head, but you can track the orientation of the phone. This lets you turn the model when the phone is turned, as if it were a 3D object you were holding in your hands. The code is mostly the very excellent ports of the NeHe OpenGL tutorials with a few brutal changes. You can see the originals here: http://nehe.gamedev.net http://www.insanitydesign.com/
