Hello, I don't particular have any example code for a web app, but here is my thought: If I have an optional field such as name and name = "front left" with near = true and name = "front center" with near = false and name = "front right" with near = false, then I know that the object is to the left of my screen. It is up to the OS to report the optional name parameter.

There are some cases that a device has multiple proximity sensors, for instance in an automotive system. My Honda has multiple proximity sensors in its front and back bumpers. Also in tablet / ultrabook, you have a proximity sensor and also a camera that can also use as proximity device. Camera can detect user near / far as an proximity event. > > What do everyone think about adding a string field that indicate which proximity sensor into this spec? > > http://www.w3.org/TR/proximity/#device-proximity Do you have a code example or two in mind to demonstrate how you'd actually use this in your web app? I'm asking, because I don't see how an additional arbitrary string field could work. Are there any native implementations from which we could learn from? -Anssi
