3. Adjust the camera position of MGHeadTracking if necessary.

Custom Rotation Handling

1. Drag prefab MGSensor from MADGaze/Demo/Prefabs into your scene.
2. Insert following code snippets in Update() in your GameObject.

void Update()
{       
	if (MADSensorManager.Instance.IsSensorEnabled()){
		Quaternion rotation = SplitUSBSensor.Instance.getCameraRotation();
		
		if(rotation != null){
			this.transform.localRotation = rotation;
		}
	}
}

Sample Scene

Troubleshooting

• Q: Why the permission dialog never prompt on my Android 10 device?

  It is because the native bug doesn't allow you to prompt the permission dialog on Android Q devices with Target SDK newer than 28. You have to set Target SDK at 27 or below in order to make it work.
