@larsgk has provided related [feedback in the past] in the context of the [Screen Orientation API]. Looping him in to gather further feedback, since it's been a while. @larsgk, for the context, we're discussing whether there should be affordances in the low-level sensor APIs^ [Accelerometer], [Gyroscope] [Magnetometer], [Orientation Sensor] to sync the [local coordinate system] used by these sensors with the [current orientation type] of the screen, defined by the Screen Orientation API. Currently, the local coordinate system used by these low-level sensors is said to be "relative to the device’s screen when the device in its default orientation", aka the [natural] orientation in the Screen Orientation API.
