Classical accurate fusion algorithms are computationally intensive, therefore their implementation in lowenergy consumption devices is a challenging task. To tackle this problem, a performance study of a relevant set of COTS MARG sensor units with low-complexity algorithms, is presented in this study. Performance evaluation tests are carried out under harsh conditions to observe the algorithms response in a non-trivial environment. The results demonstrate that the implementation of low-complexity algorithms using low-cost sensors, can provide acceptable accuracy in comparison with the more complex stateof-the-art sensors/algorithms. These results pave the way for faster adoption of absolute orientation-based pointing devices in interactive multimedia applications.engMARGComplementary FilterStochastic FilterSpace Pointing DeviceOrientation Estimateconference paper10.1109/cews.2015.7867163
