* Elements of the rotation vector are unitless. The x, y, and z axis are defined
* in the same was as for the acceleration sensor.
*
+ * The reference coordinate system is defined as a direct orthonormal basis,
+ * where:
+ *
+ * - X is defined as the vector product Y.Z (It is tangential to
+ * the ground at the device's current location and roughly points East).
+ *
+ * - Y is tangential to the ground at the device's current location and
+ * points towards the magnetic North Pole.
+ *
+ * - Z points towards the sky and is perpendicular to the ground.
+ *
+ *
* The rotation-vector is stored as:
*
* sensors_event_t.data[0] = x*sin(theta/2)
