An accelerometer is an inertial sensor which measures the linear velocity, tilt motion and thereby the orientation of a mobile phone. It also detects the shock/vibration/shake on the device. Basically helps in tracking head movements in VR.

The gyroscope adds an additional dimension to the orientation determined by the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist. While accelerometer measures linear acceleration of movement, a gyroscope in the mean time measures the angular rotational velocity. Presence of a gyro is absolutely necessary for a seamless VR experience.

The digital compass that's usually based on a sensor called magnetometer provides mobile phones with a simple orientation in relation to the Earth's magnetic field. As a result, your phone always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate your digital maps depending on your physical orientation.

The rotation vector is a virtual sensor in Android that depends on the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer (digital compass). Using all three it helps determining the orientation while the VR content is being rendered.
