View on MDN ↗

Secure context

The populateMatrix() method of the OrientationSensor interface populates the given target matrix with the rotation matrix based on the latest sensor reading. The rotation matrix is shown below.

The formulas used to convert the sensor's quaternion to the provided matrix.

where:

  • W = cos(θ/2)
  • X = Vx * sin(θ/2)
  • Y = Vy * sin(θ/2)
  • Z = Vz * sin(θ/2)

Syntax

populateMatrix(targetMatrix)

Because OrientationSensor is a base class, populateMatrix may only be read from one of its derived classes.

Parameters

  • targetMatrix
    • : TBD

Return value

None (undefined).
