Pretty cool, should definitively be fused with the compass and implemented in all phone APIs for orientation only tracking. There is previous work in this area as well

This is massively impressive stuff, but am I correct in saying this is only a partial solution?
Seeing as it seems to be all from a fixed pivot-point, its not tracking position in 3 dimensions, but rather tracking angle ? So as far as 3d-overlays go, this wouldnt by itself be that helpfull.
Maybe as a way to accurately supplement compass readings or eliminate the need for gravity-based tilt sensor use it could be usefull though.
