3.5.3 Indoor navigation
Lowest possible altitude noise is needed. A very low bandwidth is preferred. Increased power
consumption is tolerated. Humidity is measured to help detect room changes. This setting is
suggested for the Android settings ‘SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL’ and ‘SENSOR_DELAY_UI’.

3.5.4 Gaming
Low altitude noise is needed. The required bandwidth is ~2 Hz in order to respond quickly to altitude
changes (e.g. be able to dodge a flying monster in a game). Increased power consumption is
tolerated. Humidity sensor is disabled. This setting is suggested for the Android settings
‘SENSOR_DELAY_GAMING’ and ‘SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST’.
