@tobie my response to: > The sampling intervals need to be consistent. And it's critical that no samples are lost. [Ed: I'd love to understand more about about why that's important.] This is very important, because most applications using inertial sensors use incremental estimation where the current state (e.g. position, velocity, attitude) is composed of a a set of successive relative state estimates. For inertial sensors, this is not just dependent on the sensor readings but also having correct timing information, since the sensor readings are often integrated. Thus, if a sample is lost, it is generally unrecoverable (other than trying to compensate with global information such as the magnetometer). -- GitHub Notification of comment by adonikian Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/98#issuecomment-281178354 using your GitHub account
