Hi PING, As PING and Friends was discussing today at IETF, here's the set of Sensor APIs recently published as Candidate Recommendations. Review for privacy considerations would be particularly helpful as the group is planning to ask for re-charter: -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Sensor APIs are W3C Candidate Recommendations (Call for Implementations) Resent-Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 11:13:34 +0000 ... W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of the Sensor APIs to Candidate Recommendations: * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-generic-sensor-20180320/ * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-ambient-light-20180320/ * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-accelerometer-20180320/ * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-gyroscope-20180320/ * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-magnetometer-20180320/ * https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-orientation-sensor-20180320/ The approval and publication are in response to this transition request: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2018JanMar/0104.html Please provide feedback by 1 May 2018 by following the GitHub links in the specifications, or on the mailing list public-device-apis@w3.org. There are no formal objections. Patent disclosures relevant to these specifications may be found on the Device and Sensors Working Group's patent disclosure page in conformance with W3C policy: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/43696/status If you should have any questions or need further information, please contact Fuqiao Xue <xfq@w3.org>, Device and Sensors Working Group Team Contact. This Call for Implementations follows section 6.4 "Candidate Recommendation" of the W3C Process Document: https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#candidate-rec Thank you, For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director, Philippe Le Hégaret, Project Management Lead, and Fuqiao Xue, Device and Sensors WG Team Contact; Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications ============================================== Quoting from ------ Generic Sensor API W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-generic-sensor-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/generic-sensor/ Abstract: This specification defines a framework for exposing sensor data to the Open Web Platform in a consistent way. It does so by defining a blueprint for writing specifications of concrete sensors along with an abstract Sensor interface that can be extended to accommodate different sensor types. ------ Ambient Light Sensor W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-ambient-light-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/ambient-light/ Abstract: This specification defines a concrete sensor interface to monitor the ambient light level or illuminance of the device’s environment. ------ Accelerometer W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-accelerometer-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/accelerometer/ Abstract: This specification defines Accelerometer, LinearAccelerationSensor and GravitySensor interfaces for obtaining information about acceleration applied to the X, Y and Z axis of a device that hosts the sensor. ------ Gyroscope W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-gyroscope-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/gyroscope/ Abstract: This specification defines a concrete sensor interface to monitor the rate of rotation around the device’s local three primary axes. ------ Magnetometer W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-magnetometer-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/magnetometer/ Abstract: This specification defines a concrete sensor interface to measure magnetic field in the X, Y and Z axis. ------ Orientation Sensor W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 March 2018 ------ This version: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-orientation-sensor-20180320/ Latest published version: https://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-sensor/ Abstract: This specification defines a base orientation sensor interface and concrete sensor subclasses to monitor the device’s physical orientation in relation to a stationary three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. ==============================================
