3D Motion

3D Motion simulates the current rotation attitude of Thingy on a 3D model in the app. Rotating Thingy on any of the axes will immediately be reflected onto the simulation.

For iOS and Android, follow these steps to interact with this feature:

  1. Tap the More options (iOS)/Action (Android) icon More options/Action icon in the 3D section.
  2. Toggle the 3D switch. The model immediately starts simulating Thingy.

The iOS and Android simulations use quaternions, and the Web simulation uses Euler angles to rotate the model at a given configured interval. To make the animation smooth, the simulation interpolates between the current and target positions with a duration of the update interval. This makes the animation as smooth as possible.
