About AccuTilt
AccuTilt is a web-based utility designed to provide real-time accelerometer and orientation data directly from your device's built-in sensors. It provides an intuitive visualization of the device's orientation, similar to an aircraft's attitude indicator, and displays raw data for acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as pitch, roll, and yaw angles.
Features
- Real-time Data: Instantly see your device's motion and orientation data.
- Attitude Indicator: A dynamic sphere visualizes your device's pitch and roll, mimicking a flight instrument.
- Data Recording: Capture and store sensor readings locally in your browser for later analysis.
- Data Downloading: Export your recorded data as a CSV file for use in spreadsheet applications.
- Simple Interface: Clean and straightforward controls make it easy to start, stop, and manage data collection.
Limitations
- Device and Browser Dependent: The accuracy and availability of sensor data depend entirely on the hardware of your device and the level of support provided by your web browser. This app is intended for mobile devices like phones and tablets with built-in sensors; it will not function on most desktop or laptop computers.
- Permissions Required: You must grant the browser permission to access motion and orientation sensors.
- Yaw (Compass) Limitations: The yaw measurement is based on the device's magnetometer, which can be affected by local magnetic fields, leading to inaccuracies. It is most reliable when the device is held level and away from sources of magnetic interference.
- Educational Use Only: AccuTilt is intended for educational and informational purposes. It is not a calibrated scientific instrument and should not be used for applications requiring high precision or reliability.
Phone Safety
When performing activities with this app, be mindful of your device. Always ensure you have a secure grip and are aware of your surroundings to prevent accidental drops or damage to your phone.
