Sensors take measurements and produce values that are defined in terms of a standard unit. By definition, cameras and audio microphones are a kind of "sensor" and both use sensors to achieve their purpose—but neither are a tool solely used to measure some specific environmental attribute and produce a standard unit value for that measurement. Wikipedia covers the subject nicely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor Bluetooth isn't a sensor, it's a standard protocol for transporting data over short distances. -- GitHub Notification of comment by rwaldron Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/130#issuecomment-248143965 using your GitHub account
