Hello People!

I’m building an iPhone application in which an avatar’s rotation is determined by the accelerometer.

It works (ish, that is), but here’s the problem: if the user switches the position of the device too quickly, the avatar’s rotation shifts instantly, resulting in a very jarring (and extremely unorganic) movement.

In sum, I’m looking for a way to guarantee that it ‘spins’ to its new rotation instead of just **poof** appearing there.
