Detailed Description

Represents the data mapping in an Accelerometer data packet.

The accelerometer data is measured on 3 axes as shown in the picture below:

The axes are oriented to a Right Hand Coordinate System along the headband axes. Values are given in g (9.81 m/s^2) and are negated to align with the orientation of the headband in Earth's gravitational field. This convention is described in more detail in the following application note: https://www.nxp.com/files/sensors/doc/app_note/AN3461.pdf
Values along the X axis increase as the head tilts down aligning the X axis with the downward force of gravity. Negative values indicate a tilt upwards.
Values along the Y axis increase as the head tilts to the right. Negative values indicate a tilt to the left.
When worn on a level head, or held in the level position shown in the figure above, the net acceleration of the device will only be caused from gravity. It will be in the direction of the ground aligned with the Z axis. This will give a_x =0, a_y = 0 and a_z = 1 g. As the headband tilts out of this orientation, the value of Z will decrease. -1 in Z represents a headband that is upside down.
