Editing Magnetometer

A [[magnetometer]] is an instrument used to measure the magnetization of an object and the strength and direction of a magnetic field. Magnetometers in consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets are used for compass apps by measuring Earth's magnetic field along 3 perpendicular axis of X, Y and Z.

In [[virtual reality|virtual]] and [[augmented reality]], Magnetometers are part of [[IMU]]s. They are responsible for [[rotational tracking]] of [[HMDs]] and [[Input devices]].
