A system and method to exchange data among applications are disclosed. A request for information that includes private information is received from a user application. A respective indicator for each private information field within the requested information is determined. A protected set of information is provided to the user application. The protected set of information comprises the requested information with the respective indicator replacing the private information in each private information field of the requested information. At least one indicator is received from the user application. The original data corresponding to the received at least one indicator is determined.

Private data exchange

A system and a method provide an orientation of a camera on a mobile device. This information can be used in an augmented reality application. The method comprises obtaining an orientation measurement from a sensor relative to the orientation of the sensor. The sensor may have different orientation compared to the camera and, thus, the orientation measurement needs to be adjusted. An appropriate transformation matrix is obtained, which maps the orientation measurement to the camera's perspective. A processor of the mobile device computes the orientation of the camera using the orientation measurement and the transformation matrix.
