OpenGL ES for iPhone : Part 3 with Accelerometer control

In this part 3, we will add the accelerometer control to move the position of ellipse object that we have created in part 2 of the Tutorial.



1) UIAccelerometerDelegate
We need to add the UIAccelerometerDelegate protocol to the EAGLView and implement the accelerometer: didAccelerate: method as below


@interface EAGLView : UIView <UIAccelerometerDelegate>

- (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer*)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration*)acceleration;


We need to configure and start the accelerometer in the setupView method

[[UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer] setUpdateInterval:(1.0 / kAccelerometerFrequency)];
[[UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer] setDelegate:self];


2) Accelerometer values
Inside the accelerometer: didAccelerate: method, we add a low-pass filter in the accelerometer values. This low-pass filter codes are sourced from the GLGravity Sample Code from Apple.

//Use a basic low-pass filter in the accelerometer values
accel[0] = acceleration.x * kFilteringFactor + accel[0] * (1.0 - kFilteringFactor);
accel[1] = acceleration.y * kFilteringFactor + accel[1] * (1.0 - kFilteringFactor);
accel[2] = acceleration.z * kFilteringFactor + accel[2] * (1.0 - kFilteringFactor);


The meaning of accelerometer values:

acceleration.x = Roll. It corresponds to roll, or rotation around the axis that runs from your home button to your earpiece. Values vary from 1.0 (rolled all the way to the right) to -1.0 (rolled all the way to the left).

acceleration.y = Pitch. Place your iPhone on the table and mentally draw a horizontal line about half-way down the screen. That's the axis around which the Y value rotates. Values go from 1.0 (the headphone jack straight down) to -1.0 (the headphone jack straight up).

acceleration.z = Face up/face down. It refers to whether your iPhone is face up (-1.0) or face down (1.0). When placed on it side, either the side with the volume controls and ringer switch, or the side directly opposite, the Z value equates to 0.0.

3) Control on movement of the ellipse is using the variables moveX and moveY and the ellipse position will be changed according to acceleration.x (that is accel[0]) and acceleration.y (that is accel[1]) values that passed from the Accelerometer control after the low-pass filter. The larger the absolute value of acceleration.x/acceleration.y, the greater for the magnitude for the value of moveX/moveY and thus the faster the ellipse will change its position to that direction. As the object should not move beyond the screen view, the ellipseData.pos.x and ellipseData.pos.y values will be governed by the boundaries of the screen.

 ellipseData.pos.x += moveX;
 if (accel[0] > -0.1 & accel[0] < 0.1 ) {
   moveX = 0.0f;
 }
 else {
  moveX = 10.0f * accel[0];
 }

 ellipseData.pos.y += moveY;
 if (accel[1] > -0.1 & accel[1] < 0.1 ) {
   moveY = 0.0f;
 }
 else {
   moveY = -10.0f * accel[1];
 }


4) Conditional compilation code for the iPhone Simulator and on-screen debug info
As iPhone Simulator does not have Accelerometer control, we have added the code that will change the ellipse position inside this compiler directive, so that the ellipse will keep moving on the iPhone Simulator.
  #if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR

Moroever, we have added a UILabel to the code so that we can read the Accelerometer values while we debug the program on actual device. This UILabel can be disabled using this define directive.
  #undef DEBUGSCREEN

5) The source codes are here, you just need to create a new project from OpenGL ES Application template of XCode and copy the source codes of EAGLView.h and EAGLView.m from below and paste them for Build & Go in XCode. The accelerometer control can only be tested on actual device.
