I wonder, do phones have 6dof tracking (space + rotation) or 3dof tracking (just rotations)
because if it's 3dof I'm calling bullshit on some of this.
I have 7 3dof fullbody trackers for vrchat (cough cough !VRChat@sh.itjust.works cough cough) and they're so damn inconsistent and need to constantly be ready to be calibrated to line up with what your body is actually doing. Having 1 3dof device can definitely detect walking or swinging, no shot it can tell if you're in bed or on a couch
It told me I was likely sitting while I was sitting at my dining table. I assume if your phone is angled more towards the ground it would say you're in bed.
Probably if its tilted to the side but still reporting a tall display.
