Demo: Implementation and Benchmark of Magnetic Tracking on Mobile Platforms

Magnetic sensing is a promising approach for enabling high-accuracy and fine-grained tracking. Recent research has highlighted the superior performance of magnetic tracking in various subtle motion sensing tasks, such as hand and joint tracking. These tasks typically rely on computational resources available on laptops. However, the feasibility of migrating magnetic tracking techniques to mobile platforms, such as smartphones with limited computing power and energy capabilities, remains uncertain. This demo demonstrates the successful deployment of magnetic tracking techniques on commodity smartphones. Our implementation is benchmarked on a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Android smartphone. Empirical studies indicate that our implementation on mobile platforms is both energy-efficient and highly effective.
