Question by TigrisGames · Dec 27, 2020 at 03:58 PM · input mobile accelerometer gyroscope

how to move an object in 4 directions by tilting device when not parallel to the ground

I want to move an object in x and y axis by tilting the device in up and right read directions [ not by rotating it by accelerating towards a point ]

I used Input.acceleration but it only works when the device is parallel with the ground

the image shows the 2 directions i want to rotate on when facing my forward face direction alt text

Those directions are both on the Input.acceleration.x axis. I don't know of any way to distinguish the directions using just the accelerometer itself. @TigrisGames

Input.acceleration.x and the z the problem is that the acceleration.z is affected by gravity so its value depends on rotating the device not by accelerating it
