> Thanks for clarification, but as I mentioned before, linear acceleration readings can be provided by hw (same accelerometer imu) without doing sensor fusion in SW. Yes, that's because there's a sensor hub that contains both a gyroscope and an accelerometer and uses the output of both of them together to calculate linear acceleration through sensor fusion. In the process it provides a completely different data source. This contrasts with correcting drift on a a gyroscope which more akin to dynamic calibration (i.e. using output of other sensors to provide a more precise measurement) than sensor fusion (combining different sensors to provide a new kind of data). That said, it might be more appropriate to distinguish `Gyroscope` from `AngularVelocity` (dynamically calibrated output of a gyroscope). -- GitHub Notification of comment by tobie Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/accelerometer/issues/3#issuecomment-244363724 using your GitHub account
