Magnetometer data from Quest

Hi, as a follow-up to World frame for IMU data | Meta Community Forums - 1353728. We need to access the magnetometer data from Quest in order to make a precise calibration rotation in our medical setting. 

Is there any Unity-app that could achieve that? What is a way to surmise that magnetometer data information? Is there some Meta-quest SDK process that we can invert in order to surmise the magnetometer data?

Our main issue is exactly synchronizing our Quest with other IMU sensors. For example, here Microsoft Word - Camera and IMU Frame Alignment - SEIA 2018 Paper.docx, they use magnetometer to achieve that.

 

Thank you

    Hello!

    Currently, there is no Magnetometer API for Quest and no way to access the raw data using our SDKs.
