IMU with or withour magnetometer

MK..1
Associate III

Hi

I am not an IMU expert. My current task is to upgrade an old board which used LSM6DSL(gyro abd accelerometer ) and lsm303agr(Magnetometer) to caliculate orientation of a human head.

As far as I can see LSM6DSV would be providing orientation data without gyro. So I dont need a magnetometer?

When it comes to orientation data, what is the benefit of having a magnetometer? How does it come LSM6DSV is doing the job without magnetometer?
