Digital compass

121.2.44.223: /* Alternatives to a digital compass */

All information pertains to the [[N900]].

= Why a compass is needed =
== Augmented Reality (AR) ==
* GPS gives location of device; compass gives orientation
* Allows pointing the device and getting information relevant to the pointed direction
* E.g. Layar, Wikitude
== Navigation ==
* Car navigation
* On-foot navigation
** Map rotation

= Connection options =

* Optical (use one of the cameras, plus image processing)
** Best to use user-facing camera, so the world-facing can be used for capturing the world image for AR
* USB
** Unknown if USB host possible.
** Unknown if power is available from USB.
* IrDA
** Is unsupported at this point. The device only has an CIR transmitter.
* Bluetooth
** Bluetooth data
** Bluetooth audio - sending analog signals via Bluetooth microphone for digital signal processing on the N900
* FM radio
** Requires headphones be connected
** Signal processing of audio in software

= Compass chips or sensors =
* Honeywell HMC5843
** I2C interface
** Magnetometer requires vector math on client side for interpretation, see OpenMoko i2c compass project for more info
* Dinsmore analog

= Ready-built compass modules =
* Ocean Server OS4000
* Ocean Server OS5000
** USB and RS232 interface

= Microcontrollers =

= Converters =
* I2C to RS232
** http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/rs232-converters/i2c.html
** http://www.i2cchip.com/
* RS232 to Bluetooth
** Sparkfun BlueSmiRF Gold
* I2C to USB
** http://www.harbaum.org/till/i2c_tiny_usb/
* I2C to Bluetooth
** http://www.emv-electronics.com/de/intro/i2cbusadapter.htm (seems unavailable for purchase)

= Designs =
== Optical image processing of compass ==
* Periscope-like mirror
== Ready-made RS232 compass modules with RS232-Bluetooth conversion ==
== Custom board designs ==

= Alternatives to a digital compass =
* Use GPS motion to determine direction
** Only useful for navigation, not AR
** Does not work if standing still
* Use image processing for AR
** E.g. artoolkit
** Still you cannot get absolute orientation of device
* Initialized orientation + delta orientations (dead reckoning)
** Maybe you can initialize the device to a known orientation (e.g. straight north), then use optical flow and/or accelerometer data to extrapolate subsequent orientations
* Optical compass + manually dragging an on-screen compass to match
** Not automatic so some AR apps like games might not work
** But for navigation or rotating maps, it could work: just glance at the optical compass, then drag the map icon to match the orientation.
* Combined GPS/optical compass for daytime use:
** Use GPS location and time info to calculate current sun location
** Let user optically align to visible sun
