We discussed whether to add more examples of device classes to the spec beside a typical mobile device. Since we cannot anticipate all future form factors some of them would always be implementation dependent, as you note. The current normative prose states "local coordinate system defined by the device" that is to say it is implementation dependent, and mirrors the conventions of each platform and its corresponding underlying APIs. The currently shipping Device Orientation API is similarly vague in this respect. We'll clarify https://w3c.github.io/magnetometer/#local-coordinate-system along those lines, when we figure out exactly what type of text would be helpful. Our primary focus has been to enable this API on mobile devices first, so we haven't explored alternative classes of devices in detail yet. -- GitHub Notification of comment by anssiko Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/magnetometer/issues/19#issuecomment-276675981 using your GitHub account
