Sensor Camera (First Person): Gyroscope & Accelerometer Controller

Sensor Camera — cross-platform First Person Camera Controller (FPS Game view). It automatically selects a Motion Sensor (Gyroscope or Accelerometer) on Mobile Devices or Mouse + Keyboard on Desktop Platforms.

It doesn’t use live video input from the Back/Rear Camera of a Mobile Device like in Augmented Reality Cameras: AR Camera Lite or AR + VR: MR Camera.

👉 Features

Bring the enchanting Power of the Universal First-Person View Camera into your amazing Game or App. There are no limitations between Input Devices and Target Platforms, but Asset was tested this way:

• Motion Sensors on Mobile Devices (iOS, Android, WebGL) with 2 Modes:
• Gyroscope or Accelerometer.
• Spectator (Flythrough) Mode on Desktop (Windows, macOS, WebGL):
• Mouse and Keyboard.
• Auto Selection of User Input Device:
• Gyroscope → Accelerometer → Mouse + Keyboard.
• Device Orientations: Portrait and Landscape.

🍏 Package Contains

• Demo Scene with Cubes.
• Menu Scene with Safety Tutorial.
• Menu Scene with Mode Selection: Gyro, Accelerometer, No Sensors, Default.
• Loading Screen to switch scenes seamlessly.

👉 Camera Modes

The camera automatically selects User Input Device:

Gyroscope → Accelerometer → Mouse + Keyboard.

There are no limitations between Input Devices and Target Platforms.

👉 👉 Motion Sensors: Gyro vs. Accelerometer

Motion Sensors are usually used on Mobile Devices. The more accurate sensor will be selected:

• Gyroscope Mode: 3DoF — it can track rotational motion, but not translational.
• Accelerometer Mode (horizontal rotation is limited): tilting the phone to the left or right rotates the camera around the Y-axis.

90% of all mobile devices have an accelerometer and video camera, but only 40% have a gyroscope.

If the User Device has a Gyroscope, then it will be used for camera motion first. Otherwise, an Accelerometer will be used because it has less accuracy & stability than a Gyroscope in the case of the First-Person View.

👉 👉 Spectator (Flythrough) Mode: Mouse + Keyboard

If the User Device has not any Motion Sensor, then Mouse + Keyboard will be used for camera motion first. It’s usually used on Desktop Platforms:

• Smooth Movement using WASDQE keys.
• Smooth Camera Rotation using the Right Mouse Button by Default. You can also use any other mouse button, or Rotate the Camera without a button pressed at all.

✨ Limitations

Hardware nuances of the gyroscope & accelerometer (asset code does not affect it):

• Different devices have different sensors, and therefore different deviations and drifts.
• Drift is natural for the mobile sensors.
