Hi All, I'm excited to announce two new APIs that join the family of concrete sensors built atop the Generic Sensor API framework: Accelerometer Sensor https://w3c.github.io/accelerometer/ Gyroscope Sensor https://w3c.github.io/gyroscope/ (To complement these two, we're also drafting a spec for the Magnetometer Sensor that will follow up shortly.) The high-level Device Orientation API decomposes into these three low-level sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer. Following the Extensible Web Manifesto principles, we now expose these primitives to web developers to enable more advanced use cases. To ensure these specs reflect reality, we're working on Chromium implementation of these sensors in parallel and will use the implementation feedback to improve the specifications, see: https://crrev.com/2051083002 Feedback on the specs is welcome via GitHub issues: https://github.com/w3c/accelerometer/ https://github.com/w3c/gyroscope/ See also the group's sensor roadmap: https://www.w3.org/2009/dap/#sensors Thanks Alexander and Mikhail for volunteering to edit these new specifications with me -- and welcome to the happy family of spec editors! Special thanks to Tobie for the framework that has proven to be very extensible. Thanks, -Anssi
