Question How to detect a full backflip/frontflip of an object

How would one detect a full backflip/frontflip of an object on the x-axis, y-axis, z-axis seperately. With a full backflip the object should not be able to flip back and count as a flip.

 

Here was my nod yes / no gesture recognizer:

You could use the same technique to observe your player and mark each portion of a flip in sequence, and if you complete it, consider the flip done.

 

The way I got it to work is by just keeping track of the input instead of the rotation.

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2.     Vector2 rotationInput;
3.     float totalRotation = 0f;
4.     [SerializeField] float rotationSpeed = 360f;
5.  
6.     // Update is called once per frame
7.     void Update()
8.     {
9.         transform.Rotate(new Vector3(rotationInput.y, rotationInput.x, 0f) * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
10.         totalRotation += rotationInput.y * Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed;
11.         if (totalRotation <= -360f)
12.         {
13.             totalRotation += 360f;
14.             Debug.Log("flipped");
15.         } else if (totalRotation >= 360f)
16.         {
17.             totalRotation -= 360f;
18.             Debug.Log("flipped");
19.         }
20.     }
21.  
22.     public void OnRotation(InputValue value)
23.     {
24.         rotationInput = value.Get<Vector2>();
25.     }
