**Proposed resolution:** The Generic Sensor API inherits from the [EventTarget](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#eventtarget) interface and cannot itself be constructed. Specific sensor objects will need to inherit from the Generic Sensor interface.** There remains disagreement as to how these specific interfaces should be instantiated. Resolving that disagreement implies understanding the performance constraints, feature detection and discoverability issues(see #7), and the API design concerns (consistency, exposing primitives, etc.). **Actions:** - Research what information about sensors is available when navigating a new resource and what kind needs to be requested asynchronously. - Eliminate API proposals that are blocking. - Search for other areas of the platform with similar constraints and see what solutions were devised. Consider consistency. - List common usage patterns (including production-level error handling) and compare the quality of the code produced using the different API proposals. -- GitHub Notif of comment by tobie See https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/9#issuecomment-100600790
