Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing technologies. In particular, aspects of the disclosure relate to mobile computing device technologies, such as systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for improving orientation data. In one embodiment, the orientation data is generated based on information synchronized to a common sensor input from a plurality of sensor inputs. In one implementation, the common sensor input is from a gyroscope. Furthermore, techniques are provided for improved and novel methods of presenting orientation data to an application layer.
