With a linked physical device
It is also possible to connect an Android physical device. To connect an Android physical device, click Setup device link and follow the instructions detailed in the Device link feature.
Once the Android physical device is linked, the device appears as connected. The sensors display the values of the real physical device. The 3d model in space is synchronized with the device motion sensors value.
To synchronize the 3D with the smartphone position in space, hold the smartphone vertically in front of you. Click CALIBRATE SCENE to synchronize the 3D with the smartphone position in space.
The linked physical device feature can be toggled by using the toggle button next to Use my physical device. By default, the emulator window does not rotate when the smartphone suggests so for conveniency purpose. To enable rotation, the Enable emulator window rotation option must be enabled in the Motion sensor widget.
